Very much enjoyed participating in the ALT 2026 conference panel: “Advancing Reflective Practice as a Core Competency in the UK” earlier today moderated by Nigel Duncan. Roddy Cairns shared insights on the Scottish experience. Chloe Sheppick articulated lessons learned from implementing reflective practice in the MSc in Law and Professional Practice. Dr Philip Drake's visual report on how students build their capacity for critically reflective practice using LEGO™ SERIOUSPLAY™ was intriguing, while Jenny Gibbons reported on her most recent research exploring student attitudes to reflective practice. Tracing how reflective practice evolved over the last 40 years in England & Wales – and the factors influencing its increasing acceptance in law turned out to be an inspiring task that Michele Leering took up and presented on. Delighted to be part of this first panel that launches the International Symposium Series about reflective practice in law. Thank you The Association of Law Teachers, Dr Louise Loder and David Yuratich for your support.
