Welcome to BLD. Our fundamental commitment is to highlight and promote diversity in law. Do find out more about us here, view our various video podcasts (vodcasts) targeted at 13-to-17-year-olds and those aged 18 and over and also read about our ground-breaking Black Letter Law 2007.

Our community-driven Legal Gateway Scheme is designed to make a difference and raise aspirations. This includes our programmes, Today's Children, Tomorrow's Lawyers (TCTL) Programme designed for 13-to-17-year-olds and the Legal Launch Pad (LLP) Programme designed for those aged 18 and over. On 4 September 2008 our first set of Legal Launch Pad (LLP) Programme participants (who are ethnic minority students from universities and other institutions around the country) attended a Passing Out Ceremony at the Barclays Group Headquarters in Canary Wharf to mark the end of their successful participation on the scheme. Sandie Okoro, Director, Group Head of Legal at Barings Asset Management, presented them with their certificates. Application for the 2009 intakes is now open and apply now.

Our Black Letter Law 2008 is out in early October and will be officially launched at our Black History Month Event hosted by Allen & Overy.
