REVISION SEMINARS - March, April & May
Want to get in some extra tuition / revision before the exams? Panicking because you still don't understand everything? Why not consider attending a QED Law revision seminar. As with previous years, there is a discount of £5 per seminar for ELSA members. Just indicate this on the form - there is a section which asks how did you hear about the course.

Is it time to rein in the LPC providers?
ELSA London has formed a partnership with the Junior Lawyers Division (JLD) of the Law Society. Beth Wanono is the Law Society Council Member for LPC students and trainees. She is concerned about alleged abuse of the marketplace by LPC providers and whether anything needs to be done to address the situation. If you are current LPC student or you plan to do the LPC, it would be very helpful if you could answer 4 questions on the JLD website.
New look Hansard
Hansard has been working to improve the presentation of the Hansard pages on their website. This is just the start of the changes that will be rolled out over the next few months, further details can be found on web team’s production blog.
Feedback would be warmly welcomed. Email webmaster@parliament.uk or comment on the web team's blog.
European resources
The EU Calendar is a new tool from the European Commission allowing you to find out what is on the agenda of the European institutions in the near future.
An electronic petitions service to increase citizen participation in European democracy is being launched by the European Commission and Parliament. The 2 year EuroPetition project, at http://www.europetition.eu, will pilot petitions at local community and European levels, and has information about how to find out about EU legislation.

On Monday 18th May, some ELSA members took a break from revision and exam stress to participate in the London Legal Support Trust sponsored walk. Over £380,000 was raised by all the teams which took part. ELSA's contribution was helped tremendously by the anonymous donation of £295. Thank you very much.

The presidents participated in the first international secretariat meeting which took place on Sunday 1st February 2009 via skype conference call.
From now on ELSA London members will be able to attend events organised by ALSA, ALSA and NZLSA. Our members will be informed of such events via the Members’ Mailing List. The benefit of this co-operation agreement is that it affords our members the opportunity to travel to other parts of the world knowing that when you get there, there will be network of law students for you to fall back on.
Our associations have agreed to co-operate in other ways, for example by allowing members to submit work for publication in each others journals or to participate in other Academic Activities (e.g. competitions, legal research projects etc). Although it is still very early days, it is hoped that in future our associations will also work on joint international projects or even study visits / exchanges.
ELSA is a member of HRLA, the Human Rights Lawyers' Association www.hrla.org.uk
