This year the theme of the CLEO Annual Conference will be Showcasing and Collaborating.
There will be lightening talks and roundtable discussions to foster links between university law clinics and to find ways for members to provide mutual support across our community.
The day will be hosted by Liverpool Law Clinic and is generously sponsored by the School of Law and Social Justice meaning that we can keep costs to a minumum. This is an in-person event and the CLEO AGM will be held on the same day.
Liverpool Law Clinic is located in the School of Law and Social Justice Building on the campus of Liverpool University and is walking distance (or a short taxi ride) from Liverpool Lime Street Station.
