LawPath (temporary name) is designed to help law students through their course and gaining vacation placements and a training contract. Some serious input and suggestions are needed! Read the rest of this entry »
Dom kindly gave me a couple of pointers just now about LawPath, so here are the answers to the questions raised in a summarised form for reference. Keep ‘em coming!
How would you differentiate it from say, other student forums?
It basically needs to be good enough so that all law students use it like they use LexisNexis Butterworths (case website) or even (dare I say it) Facebook
Why won’t they just use facebook?
Because using Facebook for work seems counter-intuitive, even if it isn’t
Well, true, but could you develop an application that works within it?
An app just isn’t big enough to be honest. Perhaps an fb app for later integration, much like last.fm
