In conjunction with the Institute's classroom instruction, a related aspect of the Institute's educational mission is the advancement of understanding in fashion law through seminars, symposia, continuing legal education, Fashion Law Bootcamp, and other programs open to both students and the general public. Topics covered in the 2024-25 academic year included women designers and fashion law; cutting-edge legal issues facing lawyers in the fashion industry; crisis management; current developments in antitrust and intellectual property law; and the future of sustainability and fashion ethics in the wake of recent legal developments. The Fashion Law Institute also continued to conduct its pro bono Fashion Law Pop-Up Clinic program, both in person and online via Zoom, with eight Pop-Up Clinics held during the 2024-2025 academic year. At each Pop-Up Clinic, students met with lawyers and designers for attorney-supervised legal training by assisting fashion clients. Besides gaining educational experience through being involved in pro-bono consultations, students also learned about fashion law and the fashion business by serving in Institute-supervised internships as well as by assisting with various Institute events.
