Tomorrow, James Athur and Grace Beattie will be battling it out for the position of President of JATL. The question on everyone’s lips is “What’s JATL, bro?”

JATL stands for Justice And The Love. Or maybe Jesters And The Law. Or maybe Jack And The LBeanstalk. I really don’t know.

In any case, we investigated the two candidates who were looking to fill the shoes of last year’s JATL president, Someone [Insert Last Name].

Grace Beattie is an experienced, capable leader that is particularly promoting her leadership experience with “ALSA”. The Obiter further researched Grace and found that she is currently on exhange in a cold Scandinavian country. It is with reasonable certainty that we conclude that Grace has actually been in service of Princess Elsa of Arendelle, and this whole ALSA thing is just code for “I know a Princess with ice powers so vote for me or else.”

James Arthur may have two first names, but he also has two other things - coolness and swag. However, his initials are the first two letters of JATL, which is awfully suspicious. After some digging, we found that “James Arthur’s” birth name is actually Bames Barthur and that he changed it to be a more appealing candidate. We secretly recorded an the record conversation with James where he said, “Yes I know I have what it takes to be an excellent President, yes I know I look epic as hell playing in the Law Revue band, but I just really think I need to change my initials to JA to have a shot!”

After our thorough research, we discovered that JATL stands for Justice And The Law. The society runs a number of important events and issues some great publication and is essentially like the UQLS but for people with morals.

We wish both candidates all the best and all JATLERs a great year next year.

Happy Halloween!
