FOURTH LEGAL EDUCATION SYMPOSIUM

Call for Papers

Dear Colleagues,

The Fourth Legal Education Symposium will be hosted by University of Limerick on Friday, 14th May 2010.

In addition to the plenary sessions, we will have some interesting workshops, as is usual at the symposia.

There are eight topics below and I welcome your proposals for papers and contributions in respect of these. Those themes which inspire most interest will run as workshops.

Each presenter should anticipate a delivery time of approximately 15 minutes, to leave some additional time for questions and discussion.

The possible themes are:

Interdisciplinary law degrees
Clinical legal education

E-learning
Integration of teaching and research

Law teacher as mentor
Law for non-law students

Engaging students with the curriculum
Undergraduate legal writing

Interested parties should submit an abstract of their presentation before Friday 2nd April. The abstract should consist of a 300-500 word description of content and be sent to sinead.eaton@ul.ie .

Holmes O’Malley Sexton, Solicitors have kindly agreed to sponsor the Fourth Legal Education Symposium.
