This year, for the first time, it will be available in three mediums - online, as an eBook and in print. The publication has been trimmed to 10 sections, each renamed with more succinct and easily identifiable titles. Debo Nwauzu is a In making Black Letter Law accessible and free online, it can now have non-practising solicitor a truly global audience, including the emerging markets. With fresh and is the founder developers and our new designer, Ken, we now have online features, and Chair of Totally articles and videos, including video interviews with some of those Management Ltd, featured in the publication. There is also an annual subscription offer which owns BLD. She is too, with minimal costs providing many benefits, including unlimited also the Chair of BLD downloads of the eBook and the facility for entrants to update their Foundation’s Board online profiles. It is an exciting time with many opportunities. of Trustees. In addition, Debo is, and has been I am often asked why I started the publication and why I have continued since 1986, a barrister with it. I started Black Letter Law because there was, and still is, nothing and a solicitor of the that does what this publication does. There was nothing to show my Supreme Court of children, and indeed all children (not just our biological offspring) about Nigeria. the achievement and contribution of ethnic minorities, both past and present. I sometimes overuse this, but I feel very passionately that to know where you are going, it is important to know where you are coming from and this applies to our children, who are our future. It is for this reason that I have dedicated this book to them, in the hope that they are inspired by those showcased, going back to the 1800s, to forge their own future, a future that is hopefully better than ours. I have to be completely honest, though, that if I knew for sure what I know now, about the sheer hard work and the costs involved in producing Black Letter Law, my decision to start it may well have been very different back then in 2006! Why do I continue? The achievements of the entrants in the publication truly inspire and energise me - like those of my immediate family – and I enjoy and celebrate them! I have also known many others who have been similarly inspired by Black Letter Law - it’s a great resource, which will prove even more bountiful with its online facilities and features. As always, I thank Shelagh for her relentless hard work, energy and enthusiasm! I also thank my children for keeping me well-grounded, the entrants for making the publication possible, the advertisers for keeping it alive and the Law Society, yet again for its great support of the publication. Debo Nwauzu, September 2012 6 FOREWORD It gives me great pleasure to have been asked to write the Foreword to this edition of Black Letter Law. At a time when the current economic conditions make it even more challenging to enter and progress within the profession for candidates from black and Asian backgrounds, the importance of a publication such as Black Letter Law cannot be overstated. Lucy Scott-Moncrieff is the President of the Access to, and the lack of positive black and Asian role models in, the Law Society of England profession has been well documented. If we want to inspire the next and Wales. generation of young ethnic minority students to think about a career in Law, we must identify and profile those who have carved out a successful career as a solicitor. Black Letter Law is just one of a number of initiatives run by the Black Lawyers Directory (BLD) aimed at making the profession more diverse. The Legal Launch Pad and Today’s Children, Tomorrow’s Lawyers are two innovative programmes which have shaped and supported the career aspirations of young people who have limited awareness and access to the legal world. Black Letter Law is an inspirational source of information for young black and Asian people who aspire towards a legal career and a useful tool for anyone interested in the positive contribution made by black and Asian lawyers in the profession. The publication has gone from strength to strength, providing a useful tool for those looking for some career inspiration. The growth in the number of personal profiles is a testament to the successful mark that black and Asian lawyers are beginning to make on the profession. Our challenge now is to encourage, develop and support young talent for the future.

    The international journal of gacommercial and treaty arbitratiron NEWS Advocacy workshop comes to the UK Tom Toulson Friday, 04 June 2010 The Foundation for International Arbitration Advocacy is running a workshop outside its base in Switzerland for the first time. The workshop on the questioning of expert witnesses will take place over the first three days in July at Beaumont House. Twenty-four participants will get the chance to cross-examine experts from FTI Consulting and Ernst & Young - and will receive feedback on live and video-recorded performances. The sessions will be run by experienced arbitration specialists, who will also give demonstrations and lectures. The FIAA was established in 2007 to provide training to lawyers from different jurisdictions in the art of advocacy tailored to arbitration. According to one of the founders, David Roney, The international journal of a partner at Schellenbergg Wittmeracomme rincial Geneva,and treaty arbitrati rtheon decision to bring the workshops outside Switzerland is part of an international strategy. “By taking our workshop to other major arbitration centres and developing markets, we aim to make them accessible to a broader audience by reducing travel costs. We chose Beaumont House in Windsor because it offers first-rate residential conference facilities and is within easy access of both central London and Heathrow.” The organisation plans to run its next workshop in São Paulo in the autumn of 2010. Based on those who have registered for the July event already, Roney expects half the participants will be from the UK and half from countries in Europe and North America. The course costs £985, which also covers accommodation and meals.
