ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT This article considers the role of international graduate law students as
potentially contributing to the ‘solution’ of the economic challenges facing US law schools.
It suggests that intense competition for international graduate students from law schools
within and outside of the United States creates challenges for US schools interested in
maintaining and developing their international student populations. Understanding what
international students want will help schools succeed in this competition. Satisfying those
desires may require schools to allow globalization to infiltrate their structures, activities and
traditional approaches to educating lawyers.
