Opis

This edited collection offers a critical overview of the major debates in legal education in the history of the Upjohn Lectures, an annual event that draws together legal educators and professionals in the United Kingdom to consider the major debates and changes in the field.

Presented in a unique format that reproduces classic lectures along with a contemporary response from legal education experts, this book both offers an historical overview of how these debates have developed and an up-to-date critical commentary on the state of legal education today. This collection offers a timely reflection on legal education’s legacy, as well as critical debate on how it will develop in the future.
