From the editor

Dear LawSoc Members,

I hope you have all had a great term and are happily gearing up towards the summer, whether that means doing vac schemes, relaxing after finals or merely taking a break from all this law!

In this issue of Verdict we’ve touched upon some controversial and topical discussions in our essay competition, provided some honest insight into work as a commercial solicitor and have hopefully given you all much food for thought. In particular, thanks must go to Deemster Andrew Corlett for allowing me to interview him, my Deputy Editor Joseph Gourgey, the Exec team for providing such a great Trinity term for LawSoc, and (somewhat cheesily) all of you for coming along to events and getting involved!
