'Numbers and statistics on US LLM education exports can only take us so far down the analytical road. Substantive knowledge of how US-trained LLMs affect educational, social, legal, and political policy in transitioning countries can only be generated by analyzing the actual experiences of the growing number of US-educated LLM graduates who are key democratic, business, policy, and human rights reformers around the globe. By providing in-depth case studies of these experiences, The Export of Legal Education makes a much-needed contribution to a woefully understudied area in international legal education and development studies. ' Joseph Glicksberg, Open Society Institute, USA 'In the ongoing debate on globalization, the role of legal education receives scant attention. This book goes a long way in filling this void. It provides insightful, first-hand accounts of the important contributions made by returning LLM students. The result is a compelling case for increasing the use of legal education as an indispensable tool for the transfer of skills, social reform and greater integration of diverse ideas.' Mark Ellis, Executive Director, International Bar Association, UK 'This collection provides revealing insights about an export not normally thought of as an export: US legal education... All educational institutions offering LL.M., or like programs for foreign students, should immediately obtain a copy of [this] publication. Doing so will enrich the opportunities for both sides of this equation, whereby readers can glean the lessons learned by a leading institution - and its graduates, who take their export back home on this two-way educational street.'
