Call for Papers: Legal Education Research Conference The Crowded Curriculum, 24-25 November 2025

Call for Papers

 This year we invite individual papers, organised panels, and roundtables on the problem of, and solutions to, the crowded curriculum. Possible contributions might include reflections on:

1. What are the core competencies that a modern legal education curriculum should prioritise, and how can we ensure these are effectively integrated without overloading students?
2. When deciding that something should be added to the curriculum, how do we as legal educators decide what comes out to make room? Or can we somehow hold it all in one place defying physics?
3. How can law schools balance the need for traditional legal knowledge with the growing demand for interdisciplinary skills and knowledge?
4. What role should assessment play in efforts to streamline curricula?
5. How can we decolonise courses without further crowding the curriculum?
6. How can technology and innovative teaching methods be leveraged to enhance learning outcomes without adding to the curriculum’s complexity?
7. How do we coordinate course-level and degree-level crowding demands, as educators devoted to only one or at most a few courses?
