This authoritative Research Handbook examines legal training and its impact on law and society. Leading experts adopt a kaleidoscope perspective to compare diverse country case studies, highlighting shifting patterns rather than a single model of ‘global’ legal education.

Contributors explore how legal education remains nationalised via local histories, politics and markets, despite borrowing models and language from modern, merit-based, or global approaches. Chapters assess the appearance of law schools as powerful sites where divisions of class, race, gender, empire and prestige are reproduced, contested and sometimes reimagined. The Research Handbook demonstrates how familiar patterns of hierarchies, inequalities and Western-centric ideals travel widely alongside diverse efforts in majority world contexts to resist, revisit and reimagine fairer institutions. Combining doctrinal analysis, institutional histories, archives, interviews and fieldwork, this Research Handbook advances research and promotes further study.

The Research Handbook is a crucial resource for legal education scholars and practitioners and also global scholars of the legal profession. It is prime reading for students and scholars of law and society and comparative institutions seeking more information on the factors shaping the legal landscape today.

‘Ballakrishnen and Garth address a central paradox: legal education is shaped both by global legacies and embedded local hierarchies. They do so by building a portrait from the ground up through deeply informed case studies from around the world. It will be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the future of education and the professions.’
