Legal Education in Europe and Estonia in Light of the Digital Future

Legal education has always been shaped by the institutional structures of universities, the needs of legal practice, and the broader role of law in society. Today, these traditional foundations are being reconsidered and redefined in many European countries, including Estonia, in response to social change, evolving professional expectations, and new forms of knowledge production. Digitalization forms an important part of this context, but it is not the only driver of transformation. Equally significant are questions of institutional diversity, pedagogical responsibility, academic standards, and the societal mission of legal education.

This two-day conference brings together scholars, teachers, legal professionals, and policymakers to engage in a structured and critical discussion on the current state and future directions of legal education in Europe, with particular attention to the Estonian experience.
