In an era marked by cross-border legal challenges and increasing demands for global competence, this special issue offers timely insights into how legal education can evolve to better prepare future lawyers for the complexities of today’s legal landscape.
Launch Panel at King’s College London
To mark the release of the special issue, a launch panel was held on 10 September 2025, generously hosted by The Dickson Poon School of Law at King’s College London. The event brought together contributing authors, legal academics, and institutional members for a thoughtful discussion on the future of global legal education.
The panel opened with welcome remarks by LSGL Co-President Eleonora Bottini and LSGL Research Director Veronica Ruiz Abou-Nigm, followed by insights from EJLE Editorial Board Members Nigel Duncan and Izabella Main. We are grateful for their leadership and kind contributions, which helped shape both the issue and the event.
Our sincere thanks go to all the authors, editors, reviewers, and organizers for making this initiative a success — and to King’s College London for their warm hospitality in hosting the launch.
