Future focused research under CFLP will provide evidenced-based insights and tailored solutions to industry identified challenges and opportunities. This will continually update and improve the legal professional development curriculum. Our focus will be on how legal education and training can adapt to produce graduates and practitioners with the broad strategic, entrepreneurial and ethical skills needed to succeed in the legal roles of the future. 

Main areas of research:
  1. Leadership and Professional Skills.                                  
  2. Culture, Diversity, and Wellbeing.                                     
  3. Ethics and Regulation.
  4. AI and LegalTech.
  5. Access to Justice.
