Legal education is undergoing rapid change throughout Asia. This
book is a critique of the changing nature of legal education in
major Asian jurisdictions as diverse as Afghanistan, Australia,
Cambodia, the People s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Indonesia,
Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam. It
provides cross-country comparative material, including Western
legal education systems, and particularly detailed coverage of
Japan, whose legal education system has been used by many other
countries in Asia as a model to imitate. Despite the diverse
histories, societies, traditions and political and economic
situations of these countries, they all share common themes of
change, renewal and reform in their legal education systems. The
jurisdictions also generally tend to be embracing globalisation,
despite (or in some instances because of) the association of
globalisation with other movements, such as the development of
market economies and neo-liberal ideals.
This is the first significant collection available in English on
the subject of pre-qualification legal education in Asia, providing
a valuable multi-jurisdictional tool for academics and students of
Asian legal studies, law reformers, governance experts, development
practitioners and lawyers working in the region.
