Book Review: Legal Education in Asia: Globalization, Change and Contexts. Edited by Stacey Steele & Kathryn Taylor

Abstract

Legal Education in Asia: Globalization, Change and Contexts. Edited by Stacey Steele & Kathryn Taylor, Routledge Law in Asia, 2010. Pp. 352, 95 Pounds, ISBN: 978-0-415-49433-542 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.
