ABSTRACT
This chapter explores ways to bring globalism into legal education. It focuses on two examples: the contract area and the administrative law area. The chapter describes a “pervasive method” in which global factors are considered in the context of more traditional legal subjects—for it is in the contexts of those subjects that graduates will face international issues. The contract and negotiation area is an obvious candidate for considering international issues. Corporate acquisition transactions, for example, pose extremely difficult issues as different compensation and employee benefit regimes or non-discrimination principles apply to different parts of an integrated international corporate entity. The scientific issues involved in consumer or environmental regulation are much the same from nation to nation—and the scientific culture is international, thus creating a global force toward harmonization. A lawyer must understand the domestic and international political factors affecting foreign administrative law.
