While the big firms pick up literally all commercial law cases and accounts, they are under powerful competitive pressure from their domestic peers and from foreign firms to be ever more international and ever more professional. The impact of this `internationalization' of the practice of law on the way attorneys are working today, the way they have to organize their offices, the quantity and quality of continuing education they require, and the way law should be taught in law school in the first place, has hardly been examined in a systematic way up to now.
The present volume brings together the results of an international research project coordinated by Jens Drolshammer and Michael Pfeifer. The editors, both of whom are attorneys and permanent adjunct professors at well-known law schools, invited a number of pre-eminent representatives of the legal profession and some very well-known and experienced law professors to share their views on the ongoing internationalization of the legal profession and what it means for the education and practice of law in the 21st century.
