As 2025 draws to a close, The Student Lawyer team would like to pause and say a heartfelt thank you ❤️

It’s been five months since The Weekly Edge first landed in your inbox, and what a ride it’s been. Whether you joined us for the first time this year or have been reading since our early editions, your engagement, curiosity, and ambition have made this publication what it is; a community of future lawyers learning, reflecting, and growing together.

🎅🏼This holiday season, take the time to rest, reflect, and reset. You’ve navigated deadlines, applications, essays and that deserves recognition.

Our advice? Close your laptop, open a mince pie, and celebrate how far you’ve come.

⭐️We’ll see you all in 2026!!⭐️

This week’s Wilson’s Weekly Wisdom is all about precedent banks. Not glamorous. Very powerful.

A solid precedent bank is how you quietly become that person on the team.
The one who knows where things are.
The one who saves time.
The one people trust with real work.

Being a “useful team member” isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about knowing where to find it quickly and not reinventing the legal wheel at 5pm.

If you want more practical wisdom like this, the kind that actually helps you in practice and interviews, subscribe to The Weekly Edge.
No fluff. No City clichés. Just real insight for the real legal world.

Your future supervisor will thank you quietly.

This week’s Weekly Edge is doing what it does best. Making big legal changes make sense.

Sol breaks down the Universal Credit changes landing in 2026 and why you should actually care now, not later when a client asks and everyone looks at you.

Fareeda takes us into the wonderfully unglamorous but wildly important world of the UK Land Registry applications, as well as discussing Yusuf’s Law and asbestos claims. Proving the law is never just theoretical. Real people. Real consequences. Real lessons.

If you want to stay commercially and legally switched on without drowning in jargon, subscribe to The Weekly Edge.
Sharp insight. Real practice. No waffle.

Subscribe now, your future self will be smug about it.

If a trainee is saying this, you know it’s good.
