CALL FOR PAPERS: MANAGING RESPONSE TO ERROR IN LEGAL EDUCATION AND THE PROFESSION; FAILURE, FEELINGS AND (POTENTIAL) FIXES, DEADLINE- 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
Abstracts of no more than 400 words are invited for a special edition of the Law Teacher journal focusing on how response to error is linked to wellbeing in legal education and the profession, edited by Professor Caroline Strevens (University of Portsmouth) and Associate Professor Lucinda Bromfield (BPP University).
The editors are particularly keen to hear from authors in other disciplines (e.g., psychology, medicine, learning and teaching) whose work can be applied to legal education and/or the legal profession, and those currently in legal practice. If you are from a different discipline and would like to work with a co-author from a background in legal education/the legal profession, please let us know when you submit your abstract or email us with an inquiry. We will then look to introduce potential co-authors to you to encourage interdisciplinary articles. Topics for abstracts could include (but are not limited to):
● Authenticity in practice/impostor syndrome
● Anxiety and fear of failure
● Comparisons between cultures or disciplines
● Supporting under-represented groups
● Perfectionism
Submitted papers will be required to follow the author guidelines for the Law Teacher, with a word limit of 8,000 – 10,000 words (inclusive of the abstract, tables, references, figure captions, and footnotes). Shorter articles (4,000-6,000 words) could potentially be included, if appropriate.
Deadline: 30 September 2025
