    Hey guys,

    I think most of you have finished exams this year. A huge well done!

    Here's what we've been working on at the moment and some recent site updates.
    • We're in talks to partner with a few universities and organisations.
    • We've been chatting to law firms/partners about the creation of courses.
    • We spoke to the lovely Rosie Watterson (future HSF trainee) from Apply. Shine. Win. This was a lot of fun and she has some great advice for you guys - I'll be transcribing this very soon.
    • We've updated the next part of our Vacation Scheme Guide.
    • I've been working on a detailed 2018 training contract application guide - to come soon.
    • If you haven't seen the guide already, Jessica Booker, a former magic circle graduate recruiter, shared her thoughts on the Watson Glaser Test. She really knows her stuff, so we hope to invite her to share her thoughts more often.
    • We're building up our list of vacation scheme experiences.
    • We had our first Brazilian law student join us - welcome Vinicius!
    • We've had many SEO students join us (welcome guys) following my talk at Norton Rose Fulbright. One will be writing a regular column on political/economic/business news, I will share that with you soon!
    On that last note, if any of you are interested in becoming a contributor for The Corporate Law Academy, we've got one slot left. if you want to apply or learn more, please get in touch at [email protected].

    Happy Thursday/Friday!
