The University of Michigan Law School is hosting the 2025 Applied Legal Storytelling Conference, July 9-11, 2025.
The Applied Legal Storytelling Conference brings together academics, judges, lawmakers, practitioners, and any other type of legal storyteller.
Applied legal storytelling examines the use of stories, storytelling, or narrative elements in law practice, legal education, and the law. This definition is intentionally broad to allow people creativity in the way they think and present on the topic.
Examples may include:
- ways in which creative nonfiction and fiction-writing techniques or narrative theory can inform legal storytelling
- stories in the law, or law as stories
- legal storytelling and metaphor
- client story advocacy
- counter storytelling
- professional identity formation through legal storytelling
- cognitive nature and psychology of storytelling and narrative
- using legal storytelling to foster empathy and promote civil discourse
- ethical considerations in legal storytelling
Undoubtedly, there are many other avenues to explore.
The conference has previously convened in 2007 (London), 2009 (Portland), 2011 (Denver), 2013 (London), 2015 (Seattle), 2017 (Washington, DC), 2019 (Boulder), 2021 (Virtual/Mercer), and 2023 (London).
