The EJLE had an exciting and busy year since its last publication. For 2025 we organised our regular, annual issue, and alongside this, we published our first Special issue in collaboration with The European Law Faculties Association (ELFA) and The Law School Global League (LSGL). Even though we expanded our editorial board by 50% early in 2025, we are still a small team of (passionate) volunteers. Given our ambitious publication for 2025, our regular issue, Volume 6 (No.2), is thus slightly later than usual.

Nonetheless, we are excited to present to our readers an issue that could be summarised under the overall heading of ‘breaking out of the conventional mould of legal education’, specifically by revolving around these three broad themes:

Focusing on Problem-Solving Skills: Legal education is shifting towards teaching problem-solving skills and collaboration, within an environment of inclusivity and wellbeing.

Linking learning to the skills needs in the legal profession and catering meaningful legal education to the needs of the evolving legal profession.

Integrating Technology: Legal education and the profession are increasingly incorporating technology to enhance learning experiences, including legal research tools and Generative Artificial Intelligence.

We hope you enjoy reading this volume as much as we did putting it together.
