SUMMARY:Comparative law: what do lawyers in practice really need to know?
 
DESCRIPTION:The term ‘comparative law’ is used by lawyers and academics i
 n a variety of contexts\, but what does it truly mean\, and what is its 
 relevance to practice?  This panel\, curated by the Academic and Profess
 ional Development Committee and consisting of leading international acad
 emics and practitioners\, seeks to unpack this loaded term and consider 
 its implications for global legal practice. It also discusses the fundam
 ental question of how to train and educate lawyers in comparative law at
  all stages of their careers and the challenges of maintaining a compreh
 ensive approach to this expansive subject area. Finally\, the panel addr
 esses the future for this crucial discipline in the face of increasingly
  protectionist approaches to the regulation of legal practice and educat
 ion.
