Our new podcast on legal education
Thank you to Katie (head of the BPP Legal Awareness Society podcast team, and current BPP student on the GDL) and Quennezy (BPP Legal Awareness Society, and current BPP student on the BPTC) for recording this podcast on behalf of the Society on legal education.
In this short podcast of about 8 minutes (there is silence for the first 12 seconds or so of this podcast), Katie and Quennezy consider whether the current curriculum is ‘fit for purpose’ based on their own experiences, and whether legal recruiters are justified in selecting people from a II.1 (or above) pool, or a pool of Oxbridge graduates. We hope very much you enjoy your podcast. Many thanks to Matthew Clarke aka @kernowpods for recording our new jingles just before Christmas last year!
James Vine discussing the LegalAware podcast on bribery with LPC student Grace
James Vine, a senior barrister, has a very specialised interest on the Bribery Act 2010.
James has helpfully picked up on some issues discussed by Grace in our podcast for the BPP Legal Awareness Society for all students at BPP. I apologise for the sound quality of our internet connection, but I hope you find the discussion between James and Grace informative and interesting. This podcast might be of especial interest to candidates for pupillages or training contracts who wish to pursue further the jurisprudence of jurisprudence in the English law jurisdiction.
If you’re interested in this subject, I strongly recommend James’ blog, “The Bung Blog”, which has a light-hearted look at bribery (if that is possible!)
You can listen to the original podcast here.
You can also listen to the BRAND NEW discussion we recorded this week here.
Enormous thanks to James Vine for doing this for us, Shibley.
BPP student societies podcast: legal aid and access to justice
It was with massive pleasure that, after a morning looking at the corporate strategy of Tesco as part of my MBA, I managed to make it to go to the BPP Law School at Holborn. There, I managed to bump into, by accident, Ray Stewart who has made a massive, beneficial impact on me personally as Learning Support Officer for BPP. His role at our University College is enormous, and it never fails to amaze me how much he gets done on behalf of all of us.
Our team of six podcasters (aside from me) was meticulously prepared, and knew their subjects backwards. We appeared to enjoy recording them, so much so we’ll be doing some more shortly, we hope. The podcasters are all students at BPP, and happen to be doing either the Graduate Diploma in Law or the Legal Practice Course prior to their training contracts.
In this final podcast, for the time-being, we discuss whether the legal aid cuts are a big deal or not, but in a wide-ranging discussion we go onto discuss whether it’s possible to be a self-litigant these days and what the point of a solicitor is. We hope you enjoy listening to the podcast as much as we enjoyed making them.
The podcasts are a joint initiative between the BPP student societies, the BPP Commercial Awareness Society and the Legal Awareness Society. The views expressed in this podcast are personal views of the student contributors, and cannot be taken to be legal advice of any description. They do not represent any official views of BPP.
Have a nice weekend. Please follow @legalaware on Twitter, the official Twitter thread of the Legal Awareness Society, one of the student societies at BPP. You can find details about the Legal Awareness Society and the Commercial Awareness Society on the official BPP students website here.
