About

Join the latest iteration of the University of Bradford, School of Law Summer School as a packed 7-day schedule of lectures explores emerging issues in law.

Open to a global community the Summer School takes place exclusively online giving you the opportunity to explore some of the key legal issues arising from the changes in our world, focusing on current topics in international commercial law, regulation of technology, sustainability and human rights and inclusion.

Our 2025 Law Summer School will focus on Emerging Issues in Law.

Perhaps more now than any other time, the legal world is faced with addressing issues arising from rapid advances in technology, communication and ongoing social, commercial and political advancements on a global scale.

As the world evolves around us both challenges and opportunities arise from an array of areas. AI, Digital Economies, Crypto Currencies, Climate Change, Wars, Crime and Terrorism all have impact on the legal sector and have seen the issues apparent.

The School of Law Summer School aims to address these ongoing challenges, explore the evolving legal landscape and inform attendees as to how they can make the most of the opportunities arising from it all.

Open to all, this school provides all of our current students, alumni and external attendees with the opportunity to expand their knowledge of developments in a fast-evolving legal sector.

Schedule / programme

Each day the schedule will see multiple lectures take place over Microsoft Teams, starting at 9.30am, 10.30am, 12pm and 1pm. You will be sent the Teams link after registration.

Our Summer School presents a great opportunity to tap into the expertise of over 30 speakers including academic experts and industry practitioners.

This year we aim to address the following questions, providing answers to those attending:

How is law responding to an evolving global landscape and regulating the new world?
What key issues and challenges are arising from global development?
How do traditional legal principles and frameworks keep up with rapid changes?
What new regulatory approaches and legal frameworks are emerging?
How are new methods helping to harness benefits of global developments whilst protecting societies from negative implications?
