Legal Education Research Network (LERN)

What is LERN

LERN is a network of researchers interested in legal education. One of its core aims is to support like minded researchers through informal activities such as offering advice on methodology and research design, helping with piloting materials and facilitating collaborations. More formally LERN runs a series of workshops focusing on aspects of research into legal education which allows participants to develop their skills and share best practice.

If you would like to join LERN, please contact LERN coordinator Jessica Guth. Please note that LERN membership is independent from ALT membership.
