Law serves various purposes in society and is an impeccable tool in bringing radical changes in society, thereby ensuring timely justice. Legal education and its research play a massive role in developing able social engineers for the cause of nation building. The stress in the criminal and civil justice system is increasing day by day with new challenges all over the world. Thus, the function of law schools in delivering legal instruction and creating rational social engineers in the field is core to the future and development of the economy of a nation. This role can be effectively fulfilled only by attracting the finest minds committed to learning and research who are able to inspire and deliver knowledge to the younger generations.

Our economies, cultures, and population of the globe are becoming more intertwined as a result of technology, international trade in goods and services, and the mobility of capital, labour, and information. "Globalization" is the term used to describe this phenomena. Countries have formed socioeconomic coalitions over several years to cover these initiatives. Nevertheless, the fact that all these cooperation agreements had such a substantial impact on contemporary life led to the phrase becoming more well-known after the Cold War in the early 1990s.. Globalization has diverse, complex, and divisive political repercussions. Similar to major technological advancements, globalisation has positive implications as a whole while having detrimental repercussions on certain sectors. While keeping more advantages, challenges may be resolved by being aware of the respective costs and benefits.

The role of globalization in economies all over the world, especially in sectors of legal education and research, is outstanding and serves the role mentioned in the above paragraph. It has altered societal and political dynamics. “Since the development of a knowledge economy remains an important goal of both developed and developing countries, the establishment of educational institutions of global excellence ought to become the priority of the developing countries.” (Anil Kumar Thakur, 2010).Thus, the area of legal study and education is evolving with new practices in the era of globalization facing various challenges.

Globalization has created multiple challenges to legal education all over the world, especially to developing nations. Promoting judicial and legal reforms in society is fraught with difficulties. The efficient operation of legal research and education in the field of law is one of the major challenges. The training and the exposure given to the lawyers and academicians are vital to build a worthy generation of social engineers who could contribute to society. Globalization by bringing new practices has brought forward the need for competent lawyers and scholars with multi-disciplinary knowledge at the international level. Curbing these challenges is the task that all nations, especially developing nations, must deal with.

Globalization has brought new practices in education and research of law, along with these evolving practices came new challenges faced by the nations in the world in effective adaptation and implementation of it.

The scope of the study is to understand all the evolving practices in education and research of law regarding globalization and the challenges that must be overcome by the education system to address the problems in its full capacity. Thereby finding out effective solutions and recommendations that could help international actors to overcome the persisting and future challenges in education and research of law regarding globalization.

The methodology of this study is broadly characterized as an analytical method involving analysis of books and articles by applying logic and reasoning and identifying the issues, barriers encountered in the world of education and research of law upon globalization. By using the available data relating to globalization and evolving practices in the world in general and developing countries in particular, the study analyzes the various challenges and their impact both in education and research of law.

Chapter IV - Conclusion and suggestions

Traditional legal education was not created to prepare lawyers for a global practice or to handle development concerns. Most law universities and colleges adopt the renowned Langdell model, which was introduced at Harvard in 1870–1871 and is known as such. The first year of law school's curriculum requires general common-law topics like property, contracts, criminal law, torts, civil procedure, and contracts after a two-year, less structured program in which students choose from a variety of electives in the areas of jurisprudence, corporate entities, trusts and estates, international norms, professional ethics, evidence, bankruptcy, insurance, and courses geared to teach professional skills, like negotiating and legal writing. Much of the time, survey courses are the extent of the study of international and comparative law. However, as Harvard Law School emphasized when introducing its curriculum, with the advent of specializations, globalization, and a more regulated environment at both the international and domestic levels over the last few decades, the legal world has grown transnational in scope and has evolved to demand a systematic knowledge of regulatory and legislative institutions and procedures as much as an ability to discern legal concepts from court judgments. Due to multidisciplinary perspectives on law and the rising significance of acquaintance with other legal systems, international law, and world trade law in a world that is becoming more interconnected, attorneys today face a corpus of knowledge that is more complicated.

The entire polity and society's dynamics have transformed because of globalization. The relevance of the knowledge economy is now recognized by all nations. Since the information economy has grown, emerging nations like India should prioritize the creation of excellent educational institutions and updated new curricula that meet international standards. The entire structure of law school and the legal profession has undergone a radical transformation because of the globalization of the legal profession. The evolving practices that are notable in the international level across education and research of law are as follows.

Private sector plays vital role in the future of higher education depending on the environment, which is the framework, and policies various nations provide them to work in. The private sector's role must be notably expanded and highly appreciated to provide venues of quality education and research in law as globalization has brought vast opportunities. In the dynamic world, private players can understand and can compete to bring necessary changes in the field in no time benefiting the higher education sector.

In the USA, most reputed universities are from the part of private players having the motto "A private university in the public service" (NYU, n.d.). As a developing nation, in India recommendations to increase private sector's role in the higher education was made by Committee on Corporate Sector Participation in Higher Education chaired by N R Narayana Murthy (Murthy, 2012)

All over the world, universities are facing the greatest effect of globalization, which is their global participation and presence. Most of the renowned universities promote internationalization in their education and research. The regulatory bodies of nations are now addressing the need of the hour to facilitate this revolutionary development.

Professor Richard Levin stated that: "The globalization of the university is in part an evolutionary development...But creating the global university is also a revolutionary development signaling distinct changes in the substance of teaching and research, the demographic characteristics of students and scholars, the scope and breadth of external collaborations, and the engagement of the university with new audiences. When I speak of becoming a global university, I envision a curriculum and a research agenda permeated by awareness that political, economic, social, and cultural phenomena in any part of the world can no longer be fully understood in isolation" (The Global University: Inaguration of the Fox International Fellowships, speech at Jawaharlal Nehru University, 2005)

The Universities in various nations used to focus on their national laws and issues in their legal system. Today their focus is to be shifted to international and comparative law, which a wider horizon is promoted by the era of globalization. Specializations and research in the fields of international trade laws, maritime laws, international humanitarian laws, information technology laws and practices of alternate dispute resolution mechanisms are gaining much importance. Not only imparting academic knowledge but also through various international moot competitions, workshops and internships universities are making students and scholars compete in the transnational marketplace.

The global exposure in the curriculum not only prepares the students and scholars to compete in the global environment of education and research of law but also enables them to deeply understand and find solutions to the problems faced by their own legal systems. The students and legal scholars in the universities are taught a fair mix of courses and subjects for the above-said purpose. The presence of global faculty helps largely to achieve the goals of internationalization as students get exposure to both their national and foreign legal systems.

To excel in the sector of education and research of law collaborative approach is being identified and implemented all over the world by various universities. (Cooper, 2006) States, "The law schools of the future ought to provide academic space for engaging in teaching and cutting-edge research on issues of global significance. The institutions ought to constantly reinvent themselves for facing the challenges of globalization through exchange and collaboration programs. This has different implications for faculty, students, and for the development of teaching and research programs." (Cooper, 2006)

Global collaboration by providing internationalism internships and externships has widened the horizon of the legal education system. International student exchange programs accompanied by vast number of scholarships and other financial aid given by both public and private players helped to change the face of traditional legal education system.
