2010 conference: Moving forward: Legal education in Scotland

The second conference designed exclusively for the Scottish legal education community focused on the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing academic and professional environment.

Themes for the event included opening up the LLB curriculum and Professional Education and Training 2 (PEAT 2) collaboration. There were also workshop streams on clinical legal education (LLB), work-based learning (PEAT 2) and teaching law on non-law curricula.
