LawPath
Comments are heavily encouraged for this post.
3 reasons:
- Law students are thrown into their first year of a completely new subject, and then in the following year are expected to return and start applying to law firms for vacation placements. This is tough.
- There’s no proper place to collectively panic about this, and there’s no place to collect all the legal happenings in the UK in a proper manner.
- Rob needs a new web project.
This is entirely concept at the moment, but you get the gist of it. Ideas in the comments or on the new temporary blog. What I need to know is, what exactly do people want from this sort of website? I don’t mean just law students either: what would any student want from this sort of site?
Note that LawPath is a temporary name while I try and think of something better.
The current format will be a website with logins and accounts. It will start as a news website, similar to Newsvine but less complex and with the stories divided into their appropriate legal sections. This will then expand to talk of vacation placements and training contracts, before moving on to the law course (LLB or BA) itself.
Let me know what you think!
N.B. If you like the idea of this project and have a website, please feel free to mention it on your site. The more comments and feedback I can get the better! Thanks!
