Straight outta law school

BPP Law School has revealed a previously unseen side to their head honcho, Peter Crisp.

In a tweet posted earlier today to promote the law school’s clothing line, BPP featured Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) student Jack O’Neil posing alongside top dog Crisp in matching hoodies.

Embracing his inner gangster, Crisp — a former Chancery barrister who has been the dean of the law school for over 18 years — can be seen with his hood up staring into the camera.

Legal Cheek couldn’t resist running the photograph of the legal education stalwart through the “Straight Outta Compton” image generator.

The online tool is a promotional gimmick to coincide with the release of film “Straight Outta Compton.” The movie, which documents the rise to fame of American rap group N.W.A., hit UK cinema screens two weeks ago.

Gangsters aside, the vibrant blue hoodies are a marked improvement on the infamous BPP baseball jacket that was spotted outside the Holborn branch of the law school last year.
