Information AboutDomus Legis Society |
|
The Domus Legis continues to be run by students of Dalhousie Law School independent of the university administration. It receives some support from alumni, and from Canadian law firms. The society adheres to a constitution and is run by an executive comprised of students from the Faculty of Law who are elected annually. Despite its independence, the Domus Legis has close customary ties to faculty, alumni, visiting justices and the Dean, who is given honorary designation as "Member #1". Over the years, traditions have grown to include the customary signing of the Domus Legis Society's walls by law graduates and visiting dignitaries. While the original building that housed the society was demolished in January 2004 , Domus Legis' many traditions live on, including the weekly "Domus Night" which takes place every Thursday, and the annual Halloween party which attracts law students and other faculties. The name "Domus Legis" derives from Latin, meaning "House of Law". When the executive was finishing the final cleaning-out of the house in January 2004, the slogan "usque ad mortem bibendum" was re-discovered on the back of the Domus' exterior sign. EXTERNAL LINKS |
