16 Rethinking Assumptions about the Global Influence of US Legal Education

Abstract
The international influence of the US legal system appears on the wane. This volume assesses the international influence of US legal education historically. Each contribution imagines US legal education differently, suggesting that it is more about mythology than actual practice. Many of the assumed qualities of the US model are not specific to the United States. European legal education has been university-based far longer, and the Socratic and case methods have many diverse meanings around the world. A key lesson from this book is that we should look for signs of US influence in legal education in specific national contexts rather than assuming its existence: for example, the success or failure of legal transplants in France, Estonia, Japan, and Ghana. I propose that the chief influence of US legal education internationally stems from the outsized resources for scholarship gained through the historical funding model based on exorbitant, privately paid student tuitions. Today, however, US legal education faces a financial crisis and uncertain future.
