LAWYERS REUNITED

In brief

The College of Law has launched an alumni association to help ex-students get in touch with old friends and colleagues. The college was founded in May 1962 with the merger of the Law Society’s School of Law and the tutorial firm of Gibson and Weldon. Since then the college has trained more than half the senior and managing partners at the leading firms. Former students include Hazel Blears, Labour party chair and Francis Maude, chairman of the Conservative party, as well as Cherie Booth QC and Carol Thatcher. A new website has been developed—www.collegeoflawalumni.co.uk—allowing former students and staff to search for alumni members.
