‘Ballakrishnen and Garth address a central paradox: legal education is shaped both by global legacies and embedded local hierarchies. They do so by building a portrait from the ground up through deeply informed case studies from around the world. It will be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the future of education and the professions.’
