The XXVI Spanish Conference of Law Deans took place in June in Palma de Mallorca. Organised by the Faculty of Law in the University of the Balearic Islands, the Association of Spanish Faculties of Law, it brought together deans from all around Spain in order to talk about suitable issues, among these, the Dean of the Faculty of Law at UIC Barcelona María Pilar Fernández and vice-dean María Fernández.

The main issue discussed at the round table was the present and future of academic careers: moving towards an improvement in teaching evaluation, research and knowledge transfer in the legal field.   As well as this central issue, the unification of master's Degrees in the Legal Profession and was discussed, although a definitive solution has not yet been reached.  

At the meeting there was also discussion of the entrance examination into the legal profession, and payment for external work placements, since the law that regulates them has still not been developed at a regulatory level, as well as the homologation of degrees from other countries.
