This book, with contributors from nine countries, seeks to
critically understand the processes of legal education reform and
resistance and to point to what these processes mean for law and
lawyers inside and outside of the United States. The book seeks to
understand the forces driving these processes and to evaluate their
implications. Its substantive chapters provide critical insights
into how these transnational processes operate in different
jurisdictions around the world in light of globalization and local
competition. Taken together, the chapters show how institutions and
practices of legal education have historically moved across
jurisdictions and shaped legal education practices transnationally,
as well as the challenges and limits these processes have faced.
The chapters also show how that diffusion relates to empires and
imperial competition, and in particular today to the rise in power
of the United States after the Cold War-and the related diffusion
of neoliberal economic policies that have also fueled the spread of
corporate law firms modeled on the United States. The book shows
how local processes play and evolve in relation to global balances
of power. This is an open access title available under the terms of
