'This book is an essential read for those interested in legal education. Through detailed examples and analysis, it points the way forward to ensure we are educating for the current and future rather than the long gone past.' Christina Blacklaws, Immediate Past President of the Law Society of England and Wales, independent consultant and chair of the UK's LawTech Delivery Panel 'The law and the legal profession are moving on apace and so we have to ask if legal education is still fit for purpose. This collection sets that debate off in an exciting direction.' Neil Rose, Editor, Legal Futures 'This is a timely and thought-provoking book. Reading with a particular interest in lessons for developing the next generation of social justice lawyers, it usefully promotes themes that should drive the future study and practice of law such as collaboration, inter-disciplinary working, design thinking, problem solving, the role of technology and a sharp focus on outcomes for clients.' Matthew Smerdon, Chief Executive of The Legal Education Foundation, founders of the Justice First Fellowship 'Legal education has a Sisyphean task ahead of it: should it cling to the values of liberal education or override them with technocratic vocationalism? This collection provides an eclectic range of answers that will continue to stimulate discussion for years to come. All lawyers within and outwith the academy should read it.'
