Today’s students are navigating uncertainty, rapid technological development (including AI), evolving professional identities, increased awareness of mental health, and shifting expectations about work, justice, and society.This session invites participants to reflect critically on what it means for law students not merely to succeed, but to thrive in the modern world.

Drawing on themes from the special issue, the discussion will consider how pedagogy, curriculum design, assessment, and institutional culture can better support students as learners, future professionals, and engaged citizens.Questions for Discussion:● What does it mean for a law student to thrive in today’s world, as opposed to simply graduating or gaining employment?● How have the expectations placed on law graduates changed in the past decade, and how should legal education respond?● How should educators respond to the increasing use of AI and legal technology in both education and practice?● Within the current HE climate, what small, realistic changes could legal educators implement now that would make a meaningful difference to students’ experiences? - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/the-law-teacher-special-issue-new-trends-in-teaching-contract-law-launch/100001980869997486 - **Event Categories**: Art, fine-arts, health-wellness, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Room 2, Stewart House, Royal Holloway London Graduate School - **lat**: 51.52113749999999 - **long**: -0.1275353 - **full address**: Room 2, Stewart House, Royal Holloway London Graduate School, 32 Russell Square, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Law Teacher Special Issue 'New Trends in Teaching Contract Law' Launch - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/52c7e29dc86270f82dfda2a14a06dac4cba6d80d21d6e2c22733c7bd58c50561-rimg-w1200-h629-dcd9d9d9-gmir.jpg?v=1770986463 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Law Teacher Special Issue 'New Trends in Teaching Contract Law' Launch being held? - **A:** The Law Teacher Special Issue 'New Trends in Teaching Contract Law' Launch takes place on Wed, 18 Mar, 2026 at 02:30 pm to Wed, 18 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Room 2, Stewart House, Royal Holloway London Graduate School, 32 Russell Square, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Law Teacher Special Issue 'New Trends in Teaching Contract Law' Launch? - **A:** The Law Teacher Special Issue 'New Trends in Teaching Contract Law' Launch is organized by Jo Wilson. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "The Law Teacher Special Issue 'New Trends in Teaching Contract Law' Launch", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/52c7e29dc86270f82dfda2a14a06dac4cba6d80d21d6e2c22733c7bd58c50561-rimg-w1200-h629-dcd9d9d9-gmir.jpg?v=1770986463", "startDate": "2026-03-18", "endDate": "2026-03-18", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/the-law-teacher-special-issue-new-trends-in-teaching-contract-law-launch/100001980869997486", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Room 2, Stewart House, Royal Holloway London Graduate School", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "32 Russell Square", "postalCode": "WC1B 5DN", "addressLocality": "London", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.52113749999999", "longitude": "-0.1275353" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for the launch of The Law Teacher’s Special Issue on 'New Trends in Teaching Contract Law'", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "2026-03-18", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/the-law-teacher-special-issue-new-trends-in-teaching-contract-law-launch/100001980869997486" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/the-law-teacher-special-issue-new-trends-in-teaching-contract-law-launch/100001980869997486", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Jo Wilson", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/jo-wilson/27463098" } ] } ] ```
