The Law Society is thrilled to open registrations for the 2026 Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), which promises to be an insightful exploration into the impact of social media, AI and the law.

This year’s MOOC will provide participants with an insight into the rapidly developing impact and intersection of social media, AI and the law, and offer an overview of recent advancements, delving into issues surrounding liability, regulation, privacy and data protection, social media bans, cybercrime, and e-commerce. It will also explore the considerable impact on our work environment and daily lives, including digital manipulation and surveillance.  

Expert speakers, lawyers, public figures and academics will review the current state of play, demystify concerns, discuss the potential impact in the coming years, and much more.

Solicitors can obtain 7 CPD points by completing this course, which runs over a 5-week period starting on 9 June.
