As the phenomena of global interaction proceeds, lawyers must develop the skills and values needed to meet public and private requirements for the 21st century. The speakers will evaluate the impact of globalization on legal education, address the role that legal education can play promoting that process and discuss strategies for the internationalization of legal education in the United States. They also will outline strategies used in the European Union and its members states—in particular, the European Community Erasmus and related programs.
 
Each strategy will be discussed as it connects to quality legal education, better lawyering skills, facilitating communication between representatives of different legal cultures and achieving an international and domestic legal order more responsive to the needs of a globalized 21st century.
