The Future of Legal Education and Training Conference (LegalEdCon) 2020 takes place virtually on Thursday 14 May. Tickets include admission to an autumn drinks reception in London for delegates, speakers and sponsors to meet in person.

Headline sponsored by BPP University Law School, The University of Law and BARBRI, with Nottingham Law School, King’s College London, LexisNexis, The City Law School and The College of Legal Practice as silver sponsors, the Conference features sessions on areas including diversity, inclusion and social mobility; embedding technology in legal education and training; the latest Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) developments; the new Bar Course training regime; and online learning; followed by a closing keynote.

We’ll also be exploring wider themes such as the uncertain post-COVID economy that the SQE will be launched into, and considering how legal education and training can anticipate new forces within society, such as The Green Economy, greater openness around mental health and new methods of agile working.

There will be plentiful opportunities to network, too, both one to one and in group video chats — through our exciting new virtual platform. Then in autumn we will gather all the delegates, speakers and sponsors together to meet face-to-face for an SQE update and drinks reception.
