As one of ELSA’s Key Areas, Seminars and Conferences (S&C) is integral to fulfilling our purpose of contributing to legal education, fostering mutual understanding, and promoting social responsibility to our members. In addition to the traditional seminars and conferences, this area encompasses Study Visits, Summer and Winter Law Schools, ELSA Day events, and ELSA Delegations.
Study visits are a key way of improving intercultural understanding and strengthening the ELSA network. Through trips abroad or to other Local Groups, members have the opportunity to learn about culture and history, as well as to visit institutions. These visits not only support the traditional academic learning by exposing members to experts abroad, but also allow them to experience another country as a local, thanks to the hospitality of the receiving group.
Most local groups organise annual or biannual study visits and ELSA UK aims to organise a visit at the national level each year.
ELSA UK currently has one summer law school, hosted by ELSA Kent and is currently considering opportunities for new summer schools.

The national board plays a supportive role by encouraging local groups to hold events and by advising them on how to succeed.
