ELBA and Spitalfields Together visited London Metropolitan University’s law department last week, to raise awareness of the next series of the Legal Club to all the 1st and 2nd year Law undergraduates. It was the first time that ELBA spoke directly to the whole year about the opportunity instead of advertising through posters and newsletters, which has had limited success in the past.
