The Legal Education Research Group is a team of ÁñÁ«¹ÙÍø Law & Justice scholars supporting high-quality research and scholarship in legal education.
We're committed to developing legal education research as a discipline. We engage in legal education research individually and collectively, publishing research formally in journals and by running workshops.
Every two years, we run the Legal Education Research Conference – a conference bringing together experts from around the world to discuss current issues and topics in legal education. This event led to the 2019 publication of the book Imperatives of Legal Education Research.

It contains reflections on the development of practices in the teaching of law, the development of legal scholarship generally, the administration of law schools, and provides and discusses the latest in legal education research.Â
