1. Summer Unit: The Global Lawyer

Contemporary legal practice is no longer limited to the local. Lawyers now practice in a global context: across jurisdictions, in diverse cultural environments, and often mediated by digital technologies. Geography, legal systems and culture no longer constrain legal practice. Against this context this unit provides the foundation from which law graduates might take advantage of the increasing opportunities in global legal practice.

Through select readings, case studies, guest speakers, hands-on activities, discussion, and reflection, students will gain an understanding the challenges and opportunities presented by contemporary global legal practice. Students will explore the lawyer’s professional identity and global reach, through examining the impact of digital technologies, including social media, on legal practice. The unit will investigate the idea of legal practice that transgresses jurisdictional borders and help students develop the skills necessary for practice in diverse systems and cultures, and to interact appropriately and effectively with clients and lawyers in an increasingly networked world.
