Description
The internationalization of legal education is imperative given the global engagement of individuals, societies, businesses and nations. Opportunities for law students to complete part of their legal education outside the United States play a vital role in this internationalization. However, to advance this cause in a healthy and robust way, opportunities abroad must be quality programs with clear value. Which programs we create, how we measure their quality and value, and how we communicate these programs and their outcomes to others will determine the future of this aspect of legal education.
