Introduction
The LEFIS APTICE Thematic Network pursues to develop and implement a cross-national teaching and research infrastructure in the legal field which adequately responds to the needs raised by the information and knowledge society.
Upon the base of previous EU-supported initiatives, it is expected to improve the current legal education practices by adapting them to the new social, political and regulative environment, whereby legal education is broadly conceived as covering related technological, social, economic, ethical, and policy-making issues.
A major focus will be thus on the improvement of the teaching system resulted from the LEFIS experience in 2003/04, and on its integration into the ongoing EU high education policies.
