Rebranding
Since July 2008, the ICSL brand was dropped and replaced with the City Law School brand. Replacement of the ICSL brand was phased in gradually. Initially both logos were used on the school stationery, then the 2007-2008 manuals bore the City Law School name with the ICSL logo, and now all notices in the school are being fully replaced with the City Law School logo. However, the options manuals still have the ICSL logo.
Many students currently at the ICSL still refer to it by that name and also when students and alumni state either verbally or in written form, such as their CV, they went to the ICSL without any mention of City University London.
One possible motive for the rebranding of the ICSL appears to be from pressure from the Bar Council resulting from complaints raised by other BVC providers of the association the Inns within the name of the ICSL and the unfair prejudice other providers receive from that.
