Converging Trends In Legal Education: Globalization Meets Experiential Education
Over the last decade, legal educators have increasingly recognized the need to prepare students for practice in an era of ever increasing globalization. More recently, changes in the legal market have imposed greater pressure to provide more experiential education for our students. To many, these trends create conflicting pressures. This panel will address that challenge and the means by which these trends can be complementary rather than competing, through innovative programs where students have transformative experiences in international legal practice.
Presenters:
Raquel Aldana, Director, Inter-American Program, University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law
Linda Carter, Co-Director of the Global Center, and Director of Uganda Law and Development Practicum, University of Pacific, McGeorge School of Law
Hannah Garry, Director of USC Law's International Human Rights Clinic, University of Southern California Gould School of Law
Fatma Marouf, Co-Director of Immigration Clinic, and Director of the International and Comparative Human Rights Law Practicum in India, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law
