IJCLE 2025 Annual Conference Navigating Global Challenges in Clinical Legal Education: Innovating for the Future
Clinical legal education programs can contribute to universities fulfilling their social responsibility while serving local and global communities. By embracing innovation and collaboration, universities and their clinical programs constructively and creatively address a range of global challenges. These include climate change, building thriving communities and advancing geopolitical security.
The Monash University Faculty of Law is proud to host IJCLE 2025. The conference is a key part of celebrating the 50th birthday of the Monash Clinical Program.
The conference will run from November 19-21 2025. It will start with a day of workshops focused on building the skills clinical teachers need for their work with students, clients and colleagues. These skills include supervision, reflective practice, assessment, feedback and scaffolding student learning.
Days 2 and 3 will provide participants with opportunities to engage with multiple issues related to climate justice, the impact of technology and AI, access to rights and justice, along with enhancing regional and global collaboration. There will be publication-themed sessions including a writing workshop mini retreat designed to encourage clinical scholarship and research collaborations.
The conference will be held at the Monash University Law Chambers, 555 Lonsdale Street in the heart of Melbourne’s Legal Precinct.
We will be calling for papers in early 2025 on the conference theme, Navigating Global Challenges in Clinical Legal Education: Innovating for the Future.
