Future thinking from the International Law Book Facility

A charity which provides legal textbooks donated by the UK legal community to non-for-profit organisations around the globe, has celebrated its 15th anniversary

The International Law Book Facility (ILBF) marked the occasion last week with an event in Temple, London, on ‘Future thinking and why books remain irresistible’, featuring high-profile speakers including its founder and patron Lord Thomas, Lord Burnett and Professor Richard Susskind.

The ILBF used the event to launch its first student essay competition, open to all law undergraduates in the UK. Student essayists are asked to consider how the practice of law will be transformed over the next decade to ensure access to justice for all and achieve diversity in the industry. The deadline is 28 February 2022.
