In recent years ELFA has paid a lot of attention to the reform of legal education resulting from the Sorbonne-Bologna Declaration.
The impact of the Declaration on legal studies was a topic at many of the ELFA conferences.
Moreover, ELFA has composed several documents in order to inform its members and to convey its position to the European Ministers for Education on the reform process:
Information note for ELFA members regarding the development of European higher education and its possible impact on law studies in Europe
Letter to EU-Commissioner of Education, Mrs. Reding, following the follow-up conference in Prague (May 2001): English, French, Spanish, German
ELFA Board position paper concerning the Bologna-Declaration of 31 May 2002: English, French, German
Report of the discussion on the ELFA Board position paper held during the Riga General Assembly.
ELFA follows up the implementation of the Sorbonne-Bologna Declaration. It intends to, on a regular basis, collect information with regard to the implementation process of the Declaration in the member universities.
