CFP Legal Education and The Human Lawyer
CALL FOR PAPERS
Legal Education and the Human Lawyer
June 27, 2025
9:30 am – 3:00 pm ET (online)
Submission Guidelines
Interested participants are invited to submit a paper abstract of no more than 250 words by
11:59 pm ET on April 17, 2025 to https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/78405/submitter.
Submissions from thoughtful scholars at all levels are welcome. Selected participants will be notified in
early May.
In a world of rapidly developing artificial intelligence, the theme for this research symposium will be
legal education and the human lawyer. Participants will engage with the twin questions, what is unique
and important about human legal expertise, and how should legal education support students in
developing these capacities?
The legal profession is in a moment of profound anxiety about the potential for artificial intelligence to
displace much of the work of lawyers. As legal educators, it is incumbent on us to explore and study the
uniquely human aspects of legal expertise and to ensure that we provide a legal education that will
ultimately enable students to help their clients and contribute to their communities and society in ways
that artificial intelligence cannot. This event will provide a forum for these early-stage discussions and,
hopefully, provide a foundation for continued study, reflection, and active experimentation in legal
education, including informing decisions about how and why to engage students in using generative AI
tools.
The symposium will offer three provisional sub-themes that contributors will be asked to engage with in
any way they wish. The themes describe non-exclusive and overlapping aspects of human legal expertise
that, it is hypothesized, will continue to be important.
1. Sense making:
Human lawyers will continue to be needed to make sense of the complex legal problems faced by
individuals, organizations, and society, and to exercise judgement in creating strategies or solutions
for these problems. In other words, human sense-making will be crucial in both framing complex
problems and in working to resolve them. As Schön argues in the context of another
profession, where “[p]roblems are interconnected, environments are turbulent, and the future is
indeterminate ... [w]hat is called for ... is not only ... analytic techniques ... but the active, synthetic
skill of ‘designing a desirable future and inventing ways of bringing it about.’”
2. Human values:
Human lawyers will continue to be essential in bringing human values to bear in the use of law to
structure human relationships at the level of individuals, communities, and society. Part of the work
of lawyers has always been to exercise ethical judgement in selecting from a range of possible
solutions to legal problems. This will be even more crucial in working with technology. In particular,
critical perspectives point to the importance of investigating the values embedded in technological
tools, including whose values are privileged and whose values are excluded.
3. Human connection:
Legal work is much more than simply providing legal information and solving technical legal
problems. Particularly in working with individual clients, but also in serving organizations and
communities, good lawyers are adept at connecting with others to support, counsel, guide, and create.
As Gowder explains, the non-cognitive aspects of legal work are particularly critical for those
who are already disadvantaged. However, this aspect of human legal expertise will continue to be
important to a wide range of people, organizations, and communities that seek the help of lawyers.
As Furlong argues, people will continue to come to human lawyers for their “insight, counsel, and
honesty,” asking: “What do you think I should do?” “What does the best course of action seem
like?” “Will you help me navigate that course?” “Will you speak to others for me?” “Will you deal
with others on my behalf?” “Will you accompany me on my journey?”
Papers from this symposium may be considered for a special issue of The Law Teacher.
Submission Guidelines
Interested participants are invited to submit a paper abstract of no more than 250 words by
11:59 pm ET on April 17, 2025 to https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/78405/submitter.
Submissions from thoughtful scholars at all levels are welcome. Selected participants will be notified in
early May.
Optional Pre-Submission Workshop
An optional and very informal pre-submission workshop will be held online on March 28, 2025 from
12:00 – 1:00 pm ET. Join us to discuss your paper ideas, or submit an abstract in advance of the

Book Accommodations
ACPD-CALT is delighted to invite members of the community of Law Teachers to our annual conference, June 9-11, 2025, hosted by the University of Saskatchewan College of Law on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis.
At this conference, we aim to create spaces for discussion of the nature of our roles as researchers, teachers (including clinical legal educators), and practitioners. We also aim to discuss questions aabout community – who are the communities of which we are members, how do we engage with them, and how are they connected? We also intend to create opportunities to discuss the relationships between law schools, law teachers, and others including the broader university community, lawyers, and the public.
In keeping with our theme, ACPD-CALT is making space at this event for discussions about learning, teaching, research, and the connections amongst them. We invite participants to submit proposals on any of the above areas across a range of themes, ideas, or subject areas. In particular, we wish to encourage participants to submit proposals for sessions that draw connections amongst learning, research, and teaching.
As usual, our conference will include plenary sessions, awards, keynote speakers, parallel sessions, a social event or two exploring Saskatoon, and ACPD-CALT’s annual general meeting.
The Canadian Law and Society Association/Association Canadienne Droit et Société’s annual meeting will take place at the University of Saskatchewan College of Law between 11-13 June 2025. The programs for both conferences will overlap on June 11 and will be coordinated to encourage full participation and exchange by attendees at both conferences
Information about registration, fees, accommodation options and more specific timings will be available in early 2025. We encourage attendees to book flights and accommodation early.
The ACPD-CALT Conference Committee is grateful to our local organizer Professor Heather Heavin, Associate Dean Academic, who has welcomed us to Saskatoon. Thanks are also due to Dean Martin Phillipson of the College of Law, University of Saskatchewan, who has enthusiastically supported this conference, and Katie Richard, Events Coordinator, who has been very helpful with planning and logistics.
In-person event
This is an in-person event. Remote access to in-person sessions will not generally be available at this conference. Having said this, conferences are only one way through which we connect as ACPD-CALT members. In addition to our annual conference, ACPD-CALT has a track record of planning successful online events (see, for instance, the online event organized by Professor Anna Lund in September 2024 on “Getting a Job in a Canadian Law School”). We plan to host one or more additional online events during the 2024-2025 academic year. Please reach out if you would like to discuss any ideas related to online events.
Have an idea, but worried it isn’t quite ready? Talk to us!
Reach out! The ACPD-CALT Executive would be happy to talk to you about panel, roundtable, and workshop ideas that aren’t quite finished. We will work with you to develop the idea and identify possible participants. Or, we can publish open invitations to join roundtables in our newsletter. We’d be delighted to work through your thoughts with you. Email us at [email protected].
Graduate Students
This conference will feature a graduate student roundtable at which graduate students will be invited to engage in discussion about research and teaching. Participants will share ideas on, including but not limited to, research informed/based teaching, how research work contributes to the production and dissemination of knowledge and, how research is a form of learning. More information will follow. Graduate students can be members of CALT and are invited to both join proposals and to develop their own.
Childcare
While ACPT-CALT will not provide childcare during the conference, children (including infants) are welcome to accompany presenters and participants, and to share in the conference food and beverages at no cost. As well, we will ensure that at least some of the suggested and planned activities will be suitable for families and children. We will also ensure that our list of recommended accommodation options includes accommodation that is suitable for participants traveling with children. Limited funding will be available to assist with costs related to child care, including to assist with the cost of caregivers accompanying participants with children. Further details will be available in early 2025.
Proposals: Themes & Formats
We are interested in proposals for complete (all participants are already confirmed) or partial (with space for more participants) sessions of 1.5hrs. We encourage you to reach out to colleagues at different institutions and career stages to generate possibilities and build a community of practice which can come together at this year’s conference.
We invite proposals for sessions that focus on a range of themes and topics including the role of the academic within the legal academy; teaching-related topics including sessions that provide participants with opportunities to engage with research related to legal learning at any level and in all settings, including professional, graduate, public, undergraduate, and clinical legal education; and sessions that focus on the presenter’s research work in any “legal” field. We also welcome proposals that engage with research conducted in community in connection with clinics, research on social change connected to clinics, and research in or about clinics.
Three possible formats are set out below.
FORMATS: Workshops, Roundtables, Panels
Workshops: 1-4 people present a session intended to allow participants to engage in interactive ways. The proposal should provide a clear indication of what the participants will do during and learn from the session. Workshops can be in English or French.
Roundtables: Normally no more than 10 people provide brief reflections on a set topic which may include a set text or series of texts to ground the reflections. These may be research or teaching focused. They might be “Author-Meets-Reader” sessions. In arranging these sessions we encourage our colleagues to ensure that some space is available for newer (pre-tenure) entrants to law teaching. Roundtables can be in English or in French.
Panels: 3 or 4 related papers are presented sequentially. We encourage the submission of complete panel proposals from researchers working on similar themes or topics. We will, however, accept single paper proposals and attempt to find the right space for them in our program. Panels can be in English or in French.
Participants who are not proposing fully constituted panels but submitting a single proposal which would fit on a panel will be asked on the Proposal Form to indicate three different descriptors of their work:
- The methodology used in the research (multiple answers allowed)
- The subject area of the research (multiple answers allowed)
- The type of law school class or clinic in which this research could contribute to teaching (you may indicate more than one substantive area or course).
SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
All Proposals, on all themes and in all formats, must be submitted at this link by January 15, 2025: https://forms.gle/mE5jfGAJanM6UXcz5
All presenters must be members of ACPD-CALT by May 1, 2025. You can become a member here. The requirement of membership does not include people who are neither law teachers nor graduate students, for instance, community members who may be participating in your proposal. Please contact us directly in that case at [email protected] or indicate that people in this position are a part of your proposal.

Final Report and Recommendations National Requirement Review accepted by the Council of the Federation
The Final Report was released recently (here in English, here in French) and changes to the National Requirement have already been approved by the Council of the Federation. The final Report does not differ significantly from the early drafts. CALT's comments to the NRRC throughout this review process can be found here.
We are looking forward to further discussion with members and others on the changes, implications, process and in particular perhaps the suggestion of a Forum on Continuum of Legal Education which is apparently being discussed between the Federation and the Canadian Council of Law Deans (see para 112 et seq of the Report).
