A GLOBAL LABYRINTH OF AMELIORATING INITIATIVES (PART-II): PEDAGOGIC THREADS BETWEEN SKILLS-BASED EDUCATION AND THINKING LIKE A LAWYER
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper is the second of two holistic, diachronic, integrative reviews on the ameliorating initiatives for legal education. Part I described the general motivation for the study rooted in the globalization of higher education that has led to the transformation of legal education across international borders and especially in Asia. Part I focused on the period between the 1960s through 1990s during which clinical legal education, pedagogic principles, and law school academic support programs proliferated. Continuing with the holistic methodology and integrative review method, Part II is dedicated to the period beginning in the 1990s. The purpose of Part II is to integrate five of the most influential qualitative and quantitative reports on the development of skills-based legal pedagogy. In doing so, the analysis arrives at the complex and compound skill called thinking like a lawyer that subsumes the lawyering skills of skills-based pedagogy. The integrative review established that the creative and considered use of a comprehensive collection of ameliorating initiatives is most desirable to overcome the unidirectional internationalization of legal education. The findings are in agreement with the holistic methodology that seeks understanding based on a complex, social-systemic ontology. Parts I and II of this integrative review culminate in a pedagogic thread through the labyrinth of ameliorating initiatives for universities that reform their legal education in pursuit of internationalized curricula.
