This review discusses the content and construction of the book and reflects on
its relevance with regard to the evolution of legal education in Asia. The
authors of the book have contemplated the influence of globalization on legal
education, and thus brought out a stark link between the reforms that have taken
place in the Asian countries and the legal, social and educational paradigm of
the nations. The motivations of the authors and the driving forces behind the
conception of the book were to specifically bring together the perceptions of a
diverse section of scholars on board. The practical approach of the book adds an
edge to the otherwise prosaic account and makes it an interesting read.
