Our History

FootnoteLaw was created by a law student, for law students. It started from a simple frustration: everyone tells you that commercial awareness matters, but no one tells you how to build it efficiently alongside lectures, seminars, and deadlines. So instead of wading through endless articles and half-relevant headlines, FootnoteLaw does the filtering, summarising, and framing for you.
