More symposia on the future of legal education are in the works. 

But what has been undertheorized is the aggregate effect of these symposia on the future of legal education, and their influence on the future of legal education. This symposium fills the gap in the existing literature and grapples with the lessons learned from these symposia on the future of legal education. This symposium on the symposia on the future of legal education offers novel ideas, and bold predictions, for future symposia on the future of legal education. Each panel in this symposium will concentrate on panels from the previous symposia and evaluate or critique the effectiveness of the symposia.

Panels for this symposium include: 

• Creating an Effective Symposium on the Future of Legal Education
• Near-Future or Far-Future? An Analysis of the Predictions in Legal Education Symposia
• Where We've Been and Where We're Going: The Legal Education Symposium of the Future
  
• Where Symposia and Technology Meet: Disrupting Symposia on the Future of Legal Education

Papers presented at this symposium on the symposia will be included in a special issue to the special issue of the Law Journal.
