CEPLER Working Papers
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.
