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.
