Ambassadors

Ask an Ambassador!

Each year the Admissions and Recruitment Office selects students to serve as Western Law ambassadors. Ambassadors assist with events such as Orientation, our annual Welcome Day, recruiting receptions, and the phone campaign. They also give tours of the Faculty of Law and provide general information about their student experience. Below we feature some of our current ambassadors. They would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about Western Law. Feel free to email them directly at the email addresses provided.

“I was initially drawn to Western Law by all the extracurricular and clinical opportunities offered. After I attended the Open House and witnessed how genuinely happy the student ambassadors, staff and faculty were at Western, I realized I had made the right choice. I was able to meet lifelong friends in my small group, got connected with wonderful alumni and upper year mentors, and became involved with Community Legal Services, Pro Bono Students Canada and the Labour and Employment Law Society. I am very glad I chose Western and I’m happy to chat with prospective students about the school”. Send an email.

"What initially drew me to Western was the diverse and unique extra circulars combined with a demonstrated commitment to providing a top-tier legal education. As a 1L I had some amazing experiences mooting in several moots, working as a Caseworker for the Sports Solution Clinic, and a team member on the Community Workshops project. One thing that I love about Western’s extra circular options is the chance to do meaningful work separate from courses and the chance for upward mobility. As a Program Manager for the Sport Solution Clinic, I have the pleasure of continuing to advocate on behalf of Canadian athletes. While all this is great, the community that is fostered at Western Law keeps me loving the school and makes it feel like a second home". Send an email.

“From the moment I was admitted, Western Law made me feel like I’m more than a number. Western Law introduced me to many bright individuals who are all impressive in unique ways. I’ve done a lot of learning from my peers both inside and outside of the classroom. The law school is very social with a tight-knit feel. It’s truly its own community that everyone wants to be a part of and give back to. After studying at Western for the past five years, it is possible that I bleed purple… but I wouldn’t have it any other way!” Send an email.

 

Daivik Shelat, Class of 2026Davik Shelat

"I would offer two pieces of advice for aspiring law students. Firstly, many wonder if they must study in a pre-law program or if any prerequisite courses are necessary. Unlike most other second-entry or graduate/professional programs, law schools typically do not mandate particular undergraduate degrees or courses. So, I would advise selecting an undergraduate program that you are genuinely passionate about and can excel in. Additionally, I would recommend exploring diverse elective courses during undergrad. For example, I took a music elective during my second year, which is still one of my favourite undergraduate courses. Secondly, I would advise beginning to network and foster relationships within the profession early on. Connect with current law students and practicing lawyers to learn more about law school and the legal profession. Not only is this a great way to meet someone new, but it is also a great way to determine if the legal profession is the right path for you. In my experience, law students and lawyers are always willing to speak with aspiring law students." Send an email.

"I chose to attend Western Law because feeling a sense of belonging is important to me. I remember coming to Western’s Fall Open House as a prospective law student and I immediately felt at home. The law building is quiet and full of comfortable places to study. The faculty and upper-year students truly go the extra mile to support 1Ls. Western Law provides a very social environment and there’s dozens of associations and clubs to join. I’m involved in the Family Law Students Association and Western Women in Law. The small-group program has also allowed me to form meaningful connections, making the transition to law school so much smoother." Send an email.

Liv Hart, Class of 2026

“One of the things I love most about Western law is the commitment creating a supportive, collegial environment that students and faculty embrace. When attending the spring open house, it was clear to me Western Law was truly a community. During my time at Western Law, I’ve been able to gain confidence in my academics through the encouragement and support of professors, develop lasting relationships with peers in my small group and have gained multiple upper-year and alumni mentors through extracurricular activities. The environment at Western Law has allowed me to grow both academically and personally for which I am immensely grateful for.” Send an email.

Natalie Emidio, Class of 2026

"I was initially drawn to Western Law because of its commitment to providing students with a premier legal education as well as the school's tight-knit, social culture. I was a commuter during undergrad so having a supportive environment and the opportunity to make close friends was important to me. When I joined Western Law last fall, I knew that I made the right decision. I made lifelong friends in my 1L small group, and I also worked as a Caseworker for the Western Business Law Clinic. These experiences made my first year at Western Law one I will always cherish." Send an email.
