The second half of the twentieth century saw the widespread export of American power, both tangible and intangible, across the globe. In the realm of legal education, how significant was the role of US cultural and economic imperialism?
American Legal Education Abroad presents an extraordinary and unexpected account of the history of legal education in fourteen countries beyond the United States. Each study in this book offers a critical examination of the Americanization of legal education, challenging prevailing narratives of exportation, transplantation, and imperialism. Collectively, these studies challenge the notion that American ideas and practices have dominated globally.
Editors Susan Bartie and David Sandomierski, along with their contributors, argue that to fully understand legal education and respond thoughtfully to the mounting challenges of the present day, it is crucial to look beyond a specific region and consider the broader historical, political, and cultural factors that have shaped it.
American Legal Education Abroad begins with an essential foundational history by renowned Harvard Law School historian Bruce Kimball, who delves into the factors that shaped a transportable American legal model. The book concludes with insightful reflections from two prominent American law professors, Susan Carle and Bob Gordon, who offer their perspectives on recent disruptions within US law schools, suggesting that their influence within the global order of legal education may decline further.
This book is a valuable resource for anyone engaged in the field of law.
