In Ireland, legal education is delivered via a mix of university law schools, institutes of technology, and professional providers. Until recently, legal education was largely inward-looking and geared at producing practitioners for domestic legal work. This was facilitated by low levels of external competition and structural attributes of the profession enabling protection from market forces. Today, Irish legal education and legal practice are undergoing a slow change with an increasing ‘internationalised’ outlook. The context of a small market and jurisdiction with limited reach has not prevented Irish law schools and the legal profession from ‘going global’ – in actual fact, they have clearly been committed to embrace the possibilities arising from a greater internationalisation of legal education (IOLE).
