More about the conference

LILAC10 provided a forum for delegates to critically assess the concept of 'progress' in the context of legal education locally, nationally and globally. Participants debated issues such as:

The global context in which education takes place, and in particular concerns about sustainability and ethical practice, formed a backdrop to discussions about whether our understandings of progress in legal education, and the frameworks we construct to support it, are fit for purpose.

We also marked the 10^th anniversary of the Higher Education Academy's subject centre network, taking the opportunity to reflect on developments in legal education over the past ten years and prospects for the future. Professors Roger Burridge and Abdul Paliwala, UKCLE's founding directors, were joined by other legal education luminaries as part of our ten year celebration.
