New book series: Emerging Legal Learning - call for titles

Over the past six months or so, amongst much else I've been involved in putting together a couple of book series.  This post is about the first: Emerging Legal Learning (ELL), published by Ashgate Publishing and co-edited with Caroline Maughan, Visiting Fellow, Bristol Law School, and Elizabeth Mertz, Professor, Wisconsin-Madison Law School and the American Bar Foundation.  More information in the ELL Flyer, and more below the fold on why the series is needed.

Systems learning

Before the conference started John Garvey took Karen Barton and me to a school in Tribeca where his daughter taught, and to a class where the grade one kids (ages of around 6) were learning about library cards.  It was a wonderful class.  

The money

Third place, by the way, landed us a cheque (or rather a check) for $6.62M (virtual).  Any ideas how I get that into the UK?

Recently...

Long time no blog!  I'm thinking of moving platform, and about to start that soon (the task of shifting old posts is non-trivial, as I've discovered), but meantime there are so many interesting happening.  I've been on research leave since February, and the routine has been scribbling scribbling (digitally) in my wee room at home, thinking & reading as well, and visits and talks in the UK and abroad.  Last week I gave the keynote at the BILETA conference held at MMU entitled Sea-change.  The title and the epigraph was taken from an article I'm finishing up on William Twining, where I analyse and pay homage to his remarkable inaugural lecture at Queens U Belfast in 1967, still prescient, still relevant to what we do and ought to be doing in law school.
