What’s the global law school? Who’s a global Lawyer?

Panel Discussion during Global Legal Education Forum

(March 24th, 2012, Harvard Law School )

全球法学教育论坛专题研讨 (2012年3月24日,哈佛法学院)

Today, legal educators around the world recognize that law schools need to go global. Legal academics, practitioners and activists working “locally” are increasingly drawing upon comparative law insights and understandings of global governance (economic, trade, security, and migration). Crucial question needs to be raised to legal educators and practitioners. What makes a law school a “global law school?” Are “global law schools” actually new phenomena, as is often stated, or do they reflect merely a new register in a long history of globalizations of legal thought and legal consciousness? What kind of lawyers should “global law schools” train for an increasingly globalizing world?
