Centre for Employability, Professional Legal Education and Research

The CEPLER Working Paper series has been established to provide a forum for ideas and debate on legal education and the legal profession.

We would be delighted to hear from anyone with suggestions for a working paper: this might be the draft of an academic article, a short policy piece, copies of speeches or addresses, reflections on a topic from those in practice etc.

For more information on this Working Paper series, please contact the CEPLER Administrator - cepler@contacts.bham.ac.uk
