Globalization of Teaching: Some Remarks on Methods, Needs and Possible Trends for the Future

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the analysis of an array of teaching methods and trends in legal education in the time of globalization. Globalization of laws as one of the effects of globalization provokes necessity of applying different legal systems to a lawyer potentially engaged in many branches and legal institutions. It implies comprehensive comparative methods in teaching which are to prepare qualified lawyers ready to dynamic changes of legal systems and to different methods of legal reasoning in their field. In such a process of education wide knowledge and skills are needed. Thus, narrowing legal education only to certain methods and domains makes graduates potentially unprepared for evolution and convergence of legal branches and institutions in contemporary world. It is, then, obviously needed to come back at least to some traditional background of legal education not only in legal dogmatic but in a wider (non-dogmatic) context of a teaching process in the school of law. In addition, however, education of a lawyer requires substantial legal practice, which is still insufficiently present in European university curricula.
