Abstract

AbstractWhile there are some opportunities to learn law in a foreign language in some US law schools, they are so few and far between that only a very small faction of US law students experience their discipline in a language other than English. This is unfortunate in light of the fact that acquisition of foreign language capabilities has significant professional, as well as broader educational, benefits. If US law school wanted to proffer foreign language training more broadly, they could actually draw on a significant talent pool both among their faculty and among their student population. In fact, US law schools should make much greater efforts at teaching law in a foreign language, not only to let more students reap the benefits, but also to counter the current political trend towards nationalism and isolationism.
