Abstract
This chapter addresses the dynamic developments of UK legal education sector regarding internationalisation of legal education (IOLE). A critical eye is cast on the evolving nature of UK legal education, it being examined in certain detail. In particular, this chapter examines the classification of UK legal academic subjects in the modern context and it further analyses the existence and extent of internationalisation of legal academy and legal practice in the UK. Additionally, the authors negotiate the themes of globalisation and internationalisation in the UK, taking into account the wider legal and socio-economic changes that the country has seen in recent decades. Furthermore, the practicalities of internationalisation of legal education in the UK are considered, whilst broader issues of legal education are also briefly examined. Finally, this chapter discusses the necessity for a more internationalised type of education when it comes to the production of ‘global lawyers’. It concludes that the internationalisation of legal education is worth pursuing not only for so-called ‘global’ type of lawyers, but also for the totality of law graduates and practitioners. It has, therefore, been suggested that, whilst the ethos of internationalisation of legal education in UK legal academia and practice is one that is developing, this an ethos that needs to be further strengthened in the future.
