Tomorrow's Law Schools: Globalization And Legal Education, 32 San Diego L. Rev. 137 (1995), Alberto Bernabe

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

The recent changes in world political and economic structures call for an adjustment of legal education theory. The movement toward the globalization of the economy will open opportunities for the expansion of the market of legal services. However, it will also affect the availability and accessibility of those services. This essay describes some of the effects of the globalization movement on legal education and proposes some changes to help meet the challenge of preparing lawyers for practice in this new and rapidly changing world.

The Challenge Of Asian Law, Whitmore Gray

Articles

Several years ago, when U.S. trade across the Pacific finally surpassed that across the Atlantic, a small group of U.S. lawyers were already responding to the challenge of representing clients in transactions in Asia. While few had had the opportunity to take courses dealing with Asian law during their law school years, many entered the field because of undergraduate language and area studies courses. A few had taught courses dealing with Asia before beginning their law studies.

Gasshūkoku Ni Okeru Hōgakkai To Hōjitsumukai [The Worlds Of Academics And Legal Practice In The United States], Daniel H. Foote

Articles

I prepared this paper for a symposium entitled, "Academics and Practitioners in Japan and the United States: Can the Two Worlds Ever Meet?" When I saw the symposium title, my first reaction was that it might seem strange to ask whether the worlds of academics and legal practice can ever meet in the United States. After all, to a large degree the history of the law school in the United States has been that of an institution dedicated to the training of legal practitioners; the vast majority of US law professors are members of the bar; and many, if not …

The Teaching Of The Law Of Thailand, Ted L. Mcdorman

Dalhousie Law Journal

Within the last few years Canada has begun to realize that it is a Pacific Rim country with substantial connections and interests in Asia. As part of this awakening Canadian interest in Asian affairs the Faculty of Law at the University of Victoria decided to develop and offer a course entitled "Legal Issues in Southeast Asia", with the hope that such a course would provide a forum for a systematic, informed comparison of the legal systems of Asia.

The Universal And The Particular In Legal Discourses, George P. Fletcher

Faculty Scholarship

My target in this article is a set of views that I shall call the functionalist perspective of comparative law. Of course, the word "functionalist" stands for a number of different theories. In order to be precise about the view that I oppose, I shall set my sights on the arguments developed in Otto Kahn-Freund's inaugural lecture Comparative Law as an Academic Subject, published two decades ago.

The Japanese Law In English: Some Thoughts On Scope And Method, Dan F. Henderson

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Japanese law is a fledgling topic of comparative law in this country. The rapid growth of bilateral business and the integration of the United States and Japanese economies in recent years suggest the need for increased attention to this area. This Article first examines the prewar antecedents and the postwar developments of Japanese law in English in this country. It then reviews the present law school environment for the study of Japanese law as a comparative law subject. Finally, it briefly addresses three key issues basic to the development of this subject.

Litigation Abuse And The Law Schools, John W. Reed

Articles

At the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference in July, 1983, one session was devoted to a discussion of "Excessive Discovery: A Symptom of Litigation Abuse." (Without knowing, I would guess that a similar title appeared on just about every judicial conference program this year-and last year, and the one before that.) Frank Rothman, President of MGM/United Artists, addressed the subject from the point of view of a corporate client, and his remarks are printed in this issue, beginning at page 342. Judges and trial lawyers expressed their views. And I was asked to comment on the extent to which the law …

Student Participation In University And Law School Governance, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

To gain a better perspective for analysis of the present extent of student participation in university governance, it will be helpful to examine the experiences of several countries in Western Europe. This Article will examine the means by which American law schools have permitted reasonable student participation without threatening the academic freedom of law school faculties, a threat which the European experience reminds us is very real.

The Use Of Comparative Law In Teaching American Civil Procedure, Sidney B. Jacoby

Cleveland State Law Review

The use of comparative law can enhance the teaching of American civil procedure, especially by a comparison of foreign form book material with American forms. In this way, with some basic knowledge of comparative civil procedure, the student will better appreciate our own concepts and will also understand some fundamental principles of the civil procedure of civil law countries when he is confronted with them in private practice

The Basic Course—A Mild Dissent, Whitmore Gray

Articles

Perhaps it is unusual to start a discussion of a topic with a dissent from the assumption underlying its choice, but I think that in the present case this may be justified. The present topic was no doubt selected because for many years teachers have viewed the course in "comparative law" as a basic course, leading subsequently to specialized courses or research in various subject matters or geographical areas. In fact, the other two speakers on this afternoon's program, Professors Rudolf Schlesinger of Cornell and Arthur von Mehren of Harvard, are both on record in the form of their casebooks …

Legal Education In The Soviet Union And Eastern Europe, Whitmore Gray

Articles

The following notes are based on interviews with law professors, law students and lawyers during a brief trip in 1970 to Moscow, Budapest and Prague. On previous visits in 1959 and 1965 the writer had visited law schools in Kiev, Baku, Tbilisi, Alma Ata, Leningrad, Prague and Warsaw, and had sat in on lectures, recitation sections, and examinations.1 In looking this time for changes, the writer was particularly interested in whether there was some reflection there of the general student malaise which the United States has been experiencing, manifested in American law schools in student pressure for "relevant" courses and …

Reappraising American Legal Education Through A Comparative Study, Stanley A. Samad

Cleveland State Law Review

The current ferment in American legal education has been stimulated mainly by the American realists and a recent offshoot of that school, called policy science. The thrust of their reproof is that law to be studied is not to be found in the casebook and the law library, but is to be found in "law in action" in the context of economic, moral, political, psychological and social forces that shape law and the process of decision. Some have stressed the role of the lawyer as policy maker, or as counsel or adviser to policy makers, and have developed a suggested …

Chinese Communist Law: Its Background And Development, Luke T. Lee

Michigan Law Review

It is perhaps axiomatic to state that law is more than an instrument for the settlement of disputes and punishment of wrongdoers; it is, more importantly, a reflection of the way of life and the philosophy of the people that live under it. Self-evident though the above may be, it bears repeating here, for there is a much greater need for understanding Chinese law now than ever before. China's growing ideological, political, economic, and military impact on the rest of the world would alone serve as a powerful motivation for the study of its law. Certainly, we could not even …
