Supreme Court (SC) Senior Associate Justice Antonio T. Carpio on Wednesday urged the country’s law schools to strengthen their international law courses to prepare their students for the ongoing integration of legal education worldwide.

“Legal education is now starting to be globalized,” Carpio said in his remarks delivered during the first of the two-day Legal Education Summit at the Manila Hotel.

The theme of the two-day summit is “Shifting Paradigm: Remodeling Legal Education in the Philippines.”He said that “law courses in different countries are undergoing rapid harmonization, in varying degrees, in private international law, public international law, trade and investment law, intellectual property law, international humanitarian law, international arbitration law, among many others.”

“Lawyers must apply these laws and rules, and law schools must of course teach these laws and rules,” he stressed.Citing an example, Carpio said that countries that acceded to the World Trade Organization “had to amend their domestic laws to conform to the WTO.”
