Tremendously chuffed to be one of the 111 contributors to the Elgar Encyclopedia of Legal Education and to write the entry on 'Design and Legal Education'.
Hope I captured some of the vibrant energy and innovation going on in the #legaldesign education sphere.

Working with Radka Newton is always a life-affirming experience. It was characteristically generous of her to involve me in this article. We explore the ability of service design methods to provide richer insights into student experience than quant surveys ijmar.org/v10n2/23-016...
