Abstract

This piece is a continuation of Valcke’s Comparative Legal Education in Canada (39 Thémis, 483 (2005)). It bemoans the lack of theoretical reflection attending the proliferation of global curricular offerings in law schools around the world and offers some pointers for such a discussion. The questions under discussion include: the value of global law teaching, the concrete implications of global law teaching, who should teach it, and how it can most effectively be learned. The ideal method for teaching global law, it is suggested, is determined by the objectives being pursued when teaching global law.
