Executive Profiles 2010-11
NOTE THAT THESE PROFILES ARE OF LAST YEAR'S EXECUTIVE (2010-11). UPDATE COMING SOON.
All the LSS executives are proud to be part of a team dedicated to the promotion of law student interests at Weldon. We try our best to maintain an open door and hope that you will come and see us during our office hours with any questions or comments you may have. Also, for general concerns, please contact Jade Buchanan or Gillian Carter. And, please consider coming to a meeting of the LSS Board--students are always encouraged to come to raise issues or weigh in on what the LSS is doing. Looking forward to the year ahead.
Jade Buchanan - President
Saskatoon native Jade Buchanan is a manly man with a girl's name. When he's not studying law, Jade is training to vanquish his mortal enemy, Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, at battle in Kitchen Stadium.
As President, Jade organizes all of the LSS's outstanding volunteers. He is also responsible for ensuring the LSS performs its representative role. Jade strongly believes that the President should foster collegial dialogue between students, faculty, and administrators. He is committed to making sure the LSS is connected and responsive to students.

Christopher Buchanan – Vice President, Executive
Chris Buchanan hails from Yellowknife - the land of the midnight sun, but he has fallen in love with Halifax - the land of sea and beer. When he's not in class, you can find Chris procrastinating by biking, traveling, and checking out live music.
As VP Executive, Chris is responsible for keeping the LSS running smoothly. He ensures continuity from year-to-year by recording what the LSS does and making sure we do what we're supposed to. Chris is also responsible for the locker distribution and any other internal task that needs to get done. Should the President become unable to fulfill his duties, Chris will take over the reigns of the LSS and guide us to safety. He'd love to hear from you, so please feel free to drop by the office during his office hours.
