Creating a New Club

If you would like to create a club at Windsor Law, the ratification process is fairly simple.

First, take a look at the various clubs and committees available and make sure that the club you wish to create is not already available or cannot be incorporated into an existing club/committee. 

Next, send a proposal for your club to the SLS VP Operations with your proposal.

As per SLS By-Law II 5(3), to apply for ratification as a club by the SLS, a group shall submit their proposal (a constitution) with the following information:

(i) Name of Club;

(ii) Aims and Objectives;

(iii) Eligibility for Membership;

(iv) Membership fees (if any);

(v) Executive Structure;

(vi) Election Procedures;

(vii) Executives’ Term in Office;

(viii) Provisions for Amending Constitution;

(ix) Regular Meetings; and

(x) Quorum at Meetings.

SLS Council can waive any requirements of s5(3) if they are not applicable. Please advise in your proposal should you wish to have a requirement waived.

The SLS Council will then vote on your proposal at the next scheduled monthly meeting, where you or a representative from your proposed club will be requested to answer questions before a vote is taken.

After a successful vote, your club is ratified and can get down to business!
