• the use and integration of learning theories

• the role of emotion within legal education

• the place of EU law within the curriculum

• skills development within the law degree

• the development of apprenticeship models of legal education

• clinical legal education

• training within the legal profession

• the wellbeing of practitioners

• ethical issues involved in all aspects of legal education and practice

The research cluster is also interested in assisting members of Open University staff in developing bids for scholarship, and supporting them in the dissemination and publication of their findings.
