- Legal careers and diversity
- Innovation and legal markets
- Legal education and legal ethics
- Judiciary and access to justice
These four pillars place the work of lawyers within different contexts, providing a multi-faceted approach to the legal profession from the ground up. The panel comprises academics from different disciplines, practitioners, judges and other stakeholders engaged in the legal profession. The range of questions as seen from the four pillars is broad, but all four revolve around issues such as the concept of legal professionalism, the organizational structures of law firms, courts and governmental authorities and how they impact lawyers and the delivery of legal services, the expectations on lawyers with respect to defending the rule of law, how lawyers and other professionals can collaborate to decrease the justice gap, and how innovation, such as new technologies, affects the delivery of legal services.
The Research Panel serves as a locus for research as well as dialogue amongst the various constituencies of lawyers (academic, law firms, in-house, judicial, public interest, etc.) and the communities they serve.
