Transnationalization of Legal Education: A Confluence of Multiple Factors Review of “The Globalization of Legal Education: A Critical Perspective” by Bryant Garth and Gregory Shaffer

Abstract

This review article argues that globalization and reform of legal education are often part of a broader change within a state. Any reform of legal education is often chaotic, as it deals with human actors, not with value-free formulas. The engineers of reform of legal education have not been a single or cohesive force, but more often groups of reformers have coalesced with others to engender changes.
