Globalization and legal education- a Japanese perspective

Bu yazı, Japonya‟nın son deneyimlerine belirli referanslar vererek, hukuk eğitimindeki küreselleşmenin etkisini incelemektedir. Rapor; küreselleşmenin hukuk ve şu an verilen yasal hizmet şekilleri üzerinde önemli bir etkisinin olduğunu savunmaktadır. Özellikle; yasal küreselleşme, ulusal sınırları aşan toplulukların belirli ihtiyaçlarını sağlayan lex mercatoria ve lax constructionis gibi, uzmanlaşmış hukuk rejimlerinin çoğalması neticesini çıkartmıştır. Rapor; bu rejimlerin bir dizi özelliğini tanımlamakta, bu gelişmelerdeki farkedilebilir etkilerden birisinin hukuk eğitimi için yeni talep örneklerinin bulunması olduğunu desteklemektedir. Rapor, bu yeni talep ihtiyacının, hukuk eğiticileri için, giderek artan rekabete dayalı bir uluslararası hukuk eğitimi piyasasında çalışma alanlarını genişletmek için stratejik olarak etkili bir yolu gösterdiğini öne sürmektedir.

This paper examines the impact of globalization on legal education, with par-ticular reference to the recent experience of Japan. The paper argues that globa-lization has had a significant effect on law and the way that legal services are now delivered. In particular, legal globalization has resulted in the proliferation of specialized legal regimes, such as the lex mercatoria and the lex constructio-nis that cater to the needs of specific transnational communities. The paper identifies a number of features of these regimes and suggests that one noticeable effect of these developments has been the creation of new types of demand for legal education. The paper suggests that catering to this new demand represents a strategically effective way for legal educators to broaden the scope of their activities in an increasingly competitive transnational legal educational market place.
