WELCOME TO BLD's NEWSLETTER

Welcome to our February 2007 Newsletter.

We can hardly believe that BLD will be a year old on the 23rd of this month. We have come far in that time but are hoping to continue to build on our achievements.

We are planning a much revised Black Letter Law publication that will include black minority ethnic (BME) judges, Queen's Counsels, partners in the top 100 UK law firms, Professors of Law, Heads of Law/Directors of Law in local government and the public sector and general counsels in commerce and industry. Please do send us information about those who qualify within your organisation so that we may include them by sending your email to info@onlinebld.com.

We are pleased to welcome Olswang and TLT LLP in Bristol as one of our sponsors and annual advertisers respectively. Still on Bristol, please note that top Bristol law firms (including TLT), Bristol Law Society and others are coming to London in a concerted recruitment drive. Read more about this in our News and What is Going On? sections.

We also plan to run a regular students' corner, do let us have your news and events, specifically targetted at students, including on vacation placements, training contracts and pupillages.

Don't forget to book your place to our free Diversity in Law Event on the 1st March 2007 which is sponsored by Allen & Overy? Peter Herbert, the barrister and part-time judge has been confirmed as a speaker.
