Day Two (June 23) of the ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ Law virtual symposium begins at 9:00 am (EDT, GMT-4) with a look at how reflective practice fosters professionalism and competency development across the life cycle. Wisdom will be shared by speakers from Australia, England, Cameroon and Canada. An invigorating session then follows focused on diverse methods for encouraging reflection from experts from the USA, UK and India. At noon, with a brief keynote address and then reflective conversation with Symposium co-organizer Michele Leering, Dr. Denise Stockley, international Scholarship of Teaching and Learning expert, will make connections between legal educators’ reflective practice and legal education scholarship.
The afternoon of June 23 foregrounds insights from healthcare professionals on the transformative impacts and intentions of reflective practice for their disciplines, particularly critical reflection, and the lessons learned for law – including synergies with holistic conceptions of justice. Day Two culminates with a deep dive into what we can learn from Indigenous pedagogies and ways of being and knowing to become more reflective and authentic legal professionals who act with integrity. An enhanced, deeper and integrated capacity for reflective practice is essential on the challenging road to truth, reconciliation and reparation for past and current injustices in which the legal profession has been complicit.
