Globalization and Legal Education:
A View from the Center
Susan Katcher
Associate Director, East Asian Legal Studies Center
We live in an age of globalization. The definition of
globalization may vary: One article states that it is “the
fast-paced growth of trade and cross-border investm ent.” 1
Another, “integrating economies across the globe.” 2 Yet
the term “may well be too multifaceted and contested to be
reduced to [one] definition,” 3 and it is prob ably accurate
that “[t]here is no single, simple model of globalization.” 4
Wh at we do know with certainty is that the phenom enon
of globalization , in addition to affecting our economic and
cultural lives, has influenced our educational institutions.
American law schools are no exception.
Recent literature reflects the efforts of American law
schools to internationalize their curriculum and the
concern that law schools are not doing enough in this
regard. It has been said that U.S. lawyers may “be at a
disadvantage in the international market for legal services”
because they are not learning about foreign lawyers and d
n acu00
law to the same extent that foreign lawyers learn about cm 0
U.S. law.5 Many law schools have begun to include
international components, either through their curricula or
programs or both.6 A 199 6 survey by the Am erican Bar
Association showed that 99% of all Am erican law schools
have at least one international law course.7 Nevertheless,
according to the same survey, on average only about one-

My biggest news of the year is that Yoko and I welcomed our second son o n August 20, 2002, Stanley Shoma Araki. He is doing
very well and his bro ther, Alex, is making a nice adjustment, too. Work is fine. Considering that we have been affected by the
economic recession, like everybody else, and many are losing their jobs, I feel fortunate to have one.
