Abstract
In his entertainingly polemical article The Emperor's New Legal Education Theory, Dan Svantesson considered the place of legal education theory in Australian law schools. As his choice of title might suggest, Svantesson seeks to question the value of academics theorising about their teaching, in particular, of academics conducting research in education theory unless it is their main discipline. The aim of this article is to respond to two points raised by Svantesson and then, more generally, to offer some reasons why academics should engage with legal educational theory.
