Special Issue on Global Legal Education by European Journal of Legal Education

Manuscript submissions are invited for a Special Issue on Global Legal Education by the European Journal of Legal Education. Submit by September 1!

About the Opportunity

This special issue seeks to provide a platform for publications by ELFA and LSGL members’ Faculty to examine a broad range of issues related to global legal education. Global legal education encompasses the study of law from a global perspective, acknowledging the interconnectedness of legal systems, cultures, and societies worldwide.

About the Journal

The European Journal of Legal Education (EJLE) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes high-quality, original research. It is the journal of the European Law Faculties Association. Please note that this journal only publishes manuscripts in English.

Themes

This call for papers invites submissions within the following sub-themes:

• Approaches to global legal education,
• Legal education and global challenges,
• Ethos, values and skills in global legal education,
• Global legal education, AI and legal tech,
• Legal education networks and global legal education, and
• Equality and global legal education. 

Guest Editors

• Soledad Atienza Becerril, IE Law, Madrid, Co-President of LSGL
• Verónica Ruiz Abou-Nigm, Edinburgh Law School, President of ELFA 

Aims and Scope

We are interested in articles about any aspect of legal education which will be of interest to legal academics teaching in law faculties anywhere in Europe. This will include articles concerned with:

• learning theory and pedagogy;
• the use of technology in legal education;
• classroom and clinical approaches;
• academic, vocational and professional legal education;
• the issues surrounding the regulation and political influences on law faculties;
• research into legal education.

However, we do not assume we have identified an exhaustive list of topics. Articles presenting research into legal education elsewhere in the world will be of interest, especially if presented so that their relevance to a European audience is made clear.
