The law and the rule of law are the backbone of our democratic society—but how can we communicate them in a way that makes them understandable and relevant to everyone? At a time when disinformation and social polarization are on the rise, we need new ways to make legal knowledge accessible—especially to target groups that have been underserved until now.

Under the motto „Connecting Perspectives. Sharing Knowledge,“ the first Federal Forum on Legal Education and the Rule of Law invites stakeholders from all areas of the administration of justice, education, social work, academia, journalism, and politics to Leipzig to find answers together.
The focus is on transdisciplinary exchange and practical solutions: Through keynote presentations, workshops, and a Barcamp, best-practice examples will be presented, pressing issues and scientific findings discussed, and innovative methods tested. How can we also reach marginalized groups or people who are skeptical of the rule of law? What content and formats are particularly effective? With this conference, the Forum Recht Foundation offers a platform to collaboratively shape the field of legal education and build a sustainable network—with the goal of making the law more understandable and thereby strengthening trust in the law and the rule of law.
