About us
Plenet, the Public Legal Education Network, was launched in 2008 to continue building the body of knowledge of what makes for successful public legal education. Plenet is funded by the Ministry of Justice.
We are a network of organisations and individuals working in the field of public legal education. The range of particpants includes statutory bodies, not-for-profit organisations, legal professionals, researchers, educators and campaigners.

What does Plenet do?
Plenet provides a space for practitioners and researchers to share information and ideas, to promote good practise in delivering public education and to improve awareness of the need for and value of public legal education.
The Plenet website is being developed to showcase good practise with a combination of tools, guides, case studies and analysis of the wide range of activities that involve PLE. The project commissions and publishes articles on key PLE themes to promote debate and discussion.
More about: Public legal education
Many PLE projects of all types and sizes take place up and down the country but they are often isolated initiatives and don't get reported. We gather reports and contributions from the wide range of organisations doing PLE work. Through sharing our successes, and our failures, we can learn from each other's experiences and add to our common knowledge.
We are building an active network of PLE practitioners to provide mutual support, foster cooperation, and develop new initiatives. Join our network to get a regular newsletter and priority booking for events and our conference.
