Description
Increasing demands are placed on law schools in terms of the teaching of foreign, comparative and international law. The idea of a ‘global law school’ is becoming widespread. How can particular law schools move towards such an objective? A number of options will be explored, each accommodating in some measure global ambitions and local necessities.
