The BPP Legal Awareness Society (click here for details) was born at the BPP Business School, St Mary Axe, the City in February 2011. To begin with, our meetings tended to be attended by MBA students and Masters students in marketing and finance.

In January 2012, we started holding our fortnightly meetings instead at the BPP Law School, Holborn.

However, we have always wished to make clear that the BPP Legal Awareness Society can be attended by any past, current or future student of BPP, from any site or discipline. Our meetings are especially useful for training contract applicants wishing to receive valuable hints or tips about psychometric tests for training contracts; also we give emphasis to topics and issues particularly relevant to business law practice, employment, media law, and corporate finance.

We have always had a popular Twitter thread, followed by a huge number of law and business students, lawyers, law firms, barristers, members of the public interested in law, journalists, and others. Our blog is increasingly recognised, for being very active, reflecting many aspects of law especially corporate law, and furthering commercial awareness for law students and how to perform best in psychometric assessments; this blog is the only student blog which we are aware of that has 14 different videos devoted to corporate law suitable for student level made by students, ranging from technology to Islamic finance. But, latterly, we have messages of support from across England from members of law and legal education community, commending us on our innovative approach to legal education. We are very passionate about promoting business acumen for law students, and we are pleased with the feedback now.

We are proud of our identity of being an independent society run by students for students at BPP, in the context of an excellent holistic legal and business education. We are also proud of our success in raising awareness, amongst the general public, of the importance of law and regulation to improving the competitive advantage of businesses.
