The Association of Law Teachers invites you to the Annual Research & Networking Forum, the premier gathering for legal educators in the UK. This event is designed to foster a sense of community and collaboration across institutions. While traditional conferences often focus on static presentations, this forum is built around the "Exchange of Ideas." We provide a space for researchers at all levels—from PhD students to Emeritus Professors—to present "Work in Progress" and receive constructive, friendly feedback from their peers. The theme of the forum is "Belonging and Well-being in the Legal Academy," addressing the urgent need to support staff and students in a turbulent higher education landscape.

Beyond the research tracks, the forum emphasizes the importance of networking. A structured networking dinner and several breakout "social pods" allow for the formation of new research partnerships and mentorship bonds. We will also host a session on "Navigating the Transition," helping those moving from practice into academia to find their voice and footing. Whether you are looking to publish your first paper or seeking collaborators for a major grant application, this forum provides the inclusive and welcoming environment necessary for academic flourishing. Join us in Nottingham for a celebration of the vibrant and diverse community that is the Association of Law Teachers.

"PechaKucha" style rapid-fire research presentations. Dedicated "First-Time Presenter" support and feedback sessions. Keynote dinner on the importance of "Belonging" in Law Schools.
