Shared space: regulation, technology and legal education in a global context

Abstract

The LETR Report on legal services education and training (LSET), published in June 2013, is the most recent of a series of reports dealing with legal education in England and Wales. Many of these reports do not deal directly with technology theory and use in legal education, though it is the case that the use of technology has increased substantially in recent decades. This is a pattern that is evident in reports in most other common law jurisdictions. LETR does have a position on technology use and theory, however, and it positions itself in this regard against other reports in England and Wales, and those from other jurisdictions, notably those in the USA.
