Many thanks to those people who responded to our advert below (here is the link to the original site). We’re pleased report that we now have appointed quite a few additional writers, as requested, but please feel to contact me on Twitter should you be interested in writing with us.
Hi
Applications are now open for occasional article writers to a blog on corporate law. There will be no fixed demand for articles. If you’re generally interested in law, and like to read relevant media such as the BBC Business page, the Times Law Reports, Legal Week, The Lawyer, or Lawyer2be, this might genuinely interest you.
We are looking above all for good communicators.
The blog has just been launched, but posts are regularly advertised on Twitter to our 560 followers. Followers include law firms and legal journalists.
The blog is here: http://legal-aware.org/
Whilst this blog is the official site of the independent Legal Awareness Society run by student members at BPP for all members of BPP, we welcome applications from law students at other schools.
This is a student-run society of BPP. BPP is one of the leading legal education providers in England. Our blog emphasises core strengths of BPP education, including law, finance, business and extra-curricular activities such as pro bono.
The aim of the blog is to raise awareness of commercial law issues to a business community and to law students themselves.
Immediate start.
Applicants are welcome from any law student, particularly those doing the GDL or LPC, or LLM.
If you’re interested, please provide us with an email address with a brief description of your motivation and educational background ; we’d be grateful if you could make any applications as soon as possible. Please also don’t hesitate to contact us if you should like to make an informal enquiry.
It would be helpful if you could state whether you have any preference for writing on any of the following topics:
general law news
arbitration
climate change and the law
competition
corporate social responsibility
debt finance
e-commerce
employment and pensions
insurance
intellectual property
IPOs and rights issues
Islamic finance
joint ventures
share aquisitions
technology and the media
We are particularly keen to involve law students who wish to demonstrate commercial awareness and/or teamwork skills in corporate law training contract applications this year. However, please do contact us also if you’d rather be a barrister than a solicitor, or if you have a stronger interest in other areas of law. For example, we regularly post on privacy, so an interest in human rights would be desirable by us.
Thank you.
