Reflections on international legal education and exchanges

Abstract

According to the author, international legal education is important not only because we must prepare our students for an increasingly global economy and the accompanying disputes that often transcend national borders. International legal exchange is also important in its inherent comparative methodology that can so enhance our teaching of domestic law, substantively and methodologically. Certainly, the juxtaposition of different legal systems can render what was invisible visible and add to our understanding of our own legal system.
