’...a great contribution to jurisprudence.’ Adrul Haider Chowdhury, former Chief Justice of Bangladesh ’...an outstanding work. Its great strength is that it brings together reports of an eclectic group of experiments that, each in its own way, tries to get outside the box that defines contemporary legal education...Surely, these stories from the trenches will be an inspiration for faculty and students committed to broadening the mission of legal education and of law more generally.’ Professor Howard S. Erlanger, University of Wisconsin Law School, USA ’This is an inspiring book...The idealism and creativity of the authors jumps off the page.’ Duncan Kennedy, Carter Professor of General Jurisprudence, Harvard Law School, USA
