LC.N Weekly

Be a saint!
If you're recovering from Glasto excesses and feeling a little sinful, why not clear your conscience with a good dose of pro bono? (Not to mention boosting your CV in the process.) Let LC.N be your guide to getting involved: this virtuous edition of LC.N Weekly contains an Oracle to put you on the right track, plus news of worthy goings-on. 

Pro bono aside, there's plenty more to get your teeth into. We've a timely feature answering FAQs on online application forms (a must-read for those in the middle of applying for training contracts); another chance to read Dechert's Burning Question on the tricky subject of private equity; and a second opportunity to get acquainted with Penguin fan Estelle Harrison, graduate recruiter at Herbert Smith. In News, we bring you recent membership figures from LawWorks that suggest lawyers are increasingly keen to do pro bono work, and details of the attorney general's new youth network to encourage diversity in the profession. Plus the Law Society gets ready for Pride and Addleshaw Goddard has a Big Week Out. Happy reading!
