LAI AND ORDER
BY JACK, ANDY, ANDREW
Electives are possibly every Priory student’s favorite subsection of classes. With minimal work and intriguing content, they give us a break from the normal academic routine and provide a focused study on any area that you choose. Most people opt for electives such as Drama, Drawing and Painting, and Glass. However, there are few amazing electives that have slid under the radar. Law and Order, taught by Mr. Lai, is one of them.
As a class with just eight students, it can be inferred that it isn’t quite as popular an elective as its counterparts. However, according to students, it’s truly a hidden treasure. “I think Law and Order is overlooked because when people hear the name ’Law and Order’ they tend to think of something really boring with a lot of reading,” says Rheya Jain (12), “but what students don’t know is that Mr.Lai makes the class really interesting and funny.”
Furthermore, the class provides an in-depth foray into the subject of law. “They learn the basics of a lot of different areas of the law,” says Mr. Lai. “It’s not like law school, but it gives fundamental concepts that can help greatly if you pursue a career in law.”

The students of Law and Order are unanimously in agreement with Mr. Lai’s assertion. “This class is completely underrated,” says Alicia Talancon (12). “It’s something that I really enjoy and I think is really helping me with my future. I want to be a lawyer, and I think that the lessons are very useful for my future career. I also really enjoy that because Mr. Lai used to be a lawyer, we’re getting lessons from a professional.”
So, if next year you’re looking for a new and exciting elective to take, then look no further than Law and Order. Besides, you never know! Some of the best electives might just be right under your nose.
