LegalEdCon 2024 takes place at Kings Place, London on Thursday 16 May 2024. The conference is attended each year by learning & development and graduate recruitment teams from over 150 leading law firms and chambers, as well as academics from universities across the UK.
This year the Conference will focus on the following areas:
• Solicitor apprenticeships: Going beyond the hype to explore what the reality of implementing schemes for school-leavers means. And exploring how a growing number of firms are taking advantage of the SQE to launch graduate apprenticeships.
• Continuing professional development: A deep dive into skills gaps in law, discussing what trainees and junior lawyers need to get better at, and how they can improve.
• SQE latest: As the biggest shake-up to legal education in a generation beds in, new problems keep arising. How are firms and educators dealing with them?
• Innovation: The SQE has thrown up a host of new possibilities and challenged received wisdom on how lawyers should be trained. We’ll be delving into some of the new models.
• The next generation of lawyers: A chance to hear from some high profile solicitors-to-be, who are making their mark through social media.
