Experiential Pedagogy Reform era
During the Global Curricular Alignment era (2008-2009), scholars across regions argued for standardized, practice-based clinical curricula and cross-border accreditation to facilitate mobility and quality. Deborah Merritt, a leading American advocate of clinical pedagogy, championed integrating live-client clinics and reflective practice into law school curricula. Anthony Bradney, a British theorist of legal education, connected clinical training to professional standards and emphasized comparative perspectives on curriculum reform. David M. Trubek, a prominent scholar of comparative and global law, highlighted international networks, benchmarking, and the role of accreditation bodies in harmonizing practice-oriented training.
