With over 400 papers across 42 streams and themes the conference promises to be a vibrant and stimulating one. It is particularly pleasing that the SLSA should return to Warwick, which pioneered the contextual approach to the study of law, as the University is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The success of any conference is largely dependent on those who participate. Delegates are coming from around the world which we hope will facilitate comparative discussion and the establishment and strengthening of international socio-legal networks.

Welcome A personal message from the Executive Dean of Learning and Teaching, Dr Kathy Charles Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is a teaching intensive University; we put our students ahead of any other priority. As part of my role, I have oversight for curriculum development, enhancement and innovation, and for quality assurance. We pride ourselves on our learning and teaching ethos. We create and embrace innovation in learning and teaching, and we give our academic staff space and support to continually enhance their scholarship, not only for the benefit of students but for themselves too. This approach is evidenced in our Trent Institute for Learning and Teaching (TILT) that hosts events and conferences while allowing individuals to take paid sabbaticals to develop specific ideas they have to improve learning and teaching here at NTU. TILT is a community of practice, made up of many smaller communities, all of which are interdisciplinary. By becoming an external examiner at NTU, you are now part of this innovative learning and teaching community. As you know, your principal role as external examiner is to monitor the academic standards of the University course(s), as well as the internal moderation and assessment processes.
