The internationalization of commerce and contemporary life has led to a globalization of legal
standards and practices that is beginning to be reflected in legal education. This volume
gathers the insights of leading legal scholars from numerous jurisdictions to consider how the
culture and the education of their own lawyers serve or should serve the new international
reality. Law firms law schools universities courts and other legal institutions must make
themselves more international to support the national interests of their clients and
governments better. This requires new attitudes new legal rules and new forms of practical
instruction. The essays collected in this volume explore the reality of legal globalization and
suggest some ways in which the emerging multinational and multicultural legal order could be
made more just and effective.
