Do you know which area you want to practice in?  You can stay current on the most recent developments in that area by setting up an alert for the relevant Bloomberg Law Report.  From the Bloomberg home page, click the “Bloomberg Law Reports” tab.  Next, select your area of interest from the list on the right hand side of the page.  There are reports for:

• Antitrust & Trade
• Banking & Finance
• Bankruptcy
• Commercial Insurance
• Corporate Counsel
• Corporate and M&A Law
• Derivatives Law
• Health Law
• Intellectual Property
• Labor & Employment
• Law Firm Management
• Litigation
• Securities Law
• Student Edition
• Technology Law
• UK Financial Services Law

Once you’ve selected the report you’re interested in, scroll until you see “more” under the list of recent issues.  After clicking on more, you will see an option to “Set up Alert” on the left hand side of the screen. If you want to receive a link to each new issue when it comes out, provide your name and select “As Available” under frequency.

Don’t have time for alerts, but want to impress a prospective employer with your knowledge of current trends in their practice area?  You can access recent issues of the Bloomberg Law Reports before your interview following these same instructions.  Instead of setting up an alert, browse the most recent issue on the issues page.
