Spring has sprung - PLE is blooming!

Abstract

This Spring issue of the journal, is first and foremost a celebration of innovative and diverse programmes designed to extend the reach of public legal education (PLE) and via different means. We begin with a paper by Dr Freda Grealy, Steve Collender, John Lunney and Rory O’Boyle who examine how Massive Open Online Courses can be designed to align with PLE objectives and increase access to legal education to a wider audience. In their paper, Briony Johnston and Shaun McCarthy, also examine the potential value of online resources with reference to their own project, ‘Know the Law’, which provides international students with online access to legal information.
