Keeping up to date with the law

Introduction: Events

This part of the guide suggests how you can find out about upcoming legal events.

Key organisations  - websites and social media

If there a key organisation in your area of research, make sure you subscribe to its mailing list and join its social media platforms. This is a very good way of letting yourself be informed about relevant upcoming events.

The IALS calendar of forthcoming events can be viewed at http://ials.sas.ac.uk/events.

If the organisation doesn't have a social media presence, you can either check their website regularly for details of new events, or set up a web page monitoring alert, as described in the introduction to this guide.
