ABSTRACT
Globalization is a phenomenon that brought opportunities as well as challenges. By reducing the barriers and opening boundaries, it has facilitated easy exchange of goods and services, which includes legal social service also into its periphery. Its advent has introduced opportunities of elevated stakes of legal educational efficiency. Lawyers and advocates are the social engineers in a society who bridge the morals of justice to the society. This can be achieved by exposing the law students with fostered legal education, which involves advanced academic standards, and raised intellectual environment. The legal academia is no longer limited to the domestic law and is gradually expanding to integrate with the international laws. Globalization also paves way for the developed nations to exchange their skills and knowledge and even enter into the jurisdiction of developing countries for improving their global career growth. Now the challenge lies in striking a balance with the integration of globalized fields of legal education and enabling this collaboration between Indian institutions and foreign teachers, to meet the international standards at length. Such globally influenced developments encourage new opportunities in the Indian education system, and has also emerged challenges to the existing system of training and curriculum that requisites dire need of reformation to cope with the raised standards. This need for reform is pressing, as globalization sets higher benchmarks for innovation, inclusivity and quality.
