But wait...we started 4 years ago...times have already changed

We define legal education based on what we believe to be a lawyer

But...law is transformed

• globalisation
• diversity
• digital technologies

...and so is learning

The pace and scale of change is exponential

Now, more than ever, lawyers serve a fragmented society

We need a vision of the new legal professional

...and new legal education to match

Legal practice
OR
legal service delivery; solving legal problems

What's in

• soft skills
• tech skills
• project management
• multi-disciplinary
• global citizenship

Will we need content experts? Or problem-solvers?

Time is of the essence:
4 years is too long...

...rethink foundation credentials and lifelong learning: stackable, iterative competencies

When? "Gradually then suddenly"

Our task: understand the shift, advocate for change in legal education that aligns with...

...well...what is *your* vision of our legal future?
