520 _a"This sweeping book details the extent to which the legal revolution emanating from the US has transformed legal hierarchies of power across the globe, while also analyzing the interconnected global histories of law and social change from the Middle Ages to today. It analyzes the global proliferation of large corporate law firms - a US invention - and with them US legal education approaches geared toward those corporate law firms. This neoliberal-inspired revolution attacks complacent legal oligarchies in the name of this US-inspired modernism. Drawing on an interconnected history of the legal profession, imperial transformations, and the enduring and conservative role of cosmopolitan elites at the top of legal hierarchies, the book details six case studies - India, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, and China -- to explain how interconnected legal histories are stories of both revolution and reproduction. Theoretically and methodologically ambitious, it offers a wholly new approach to studying interconnected fields across time and geographies"--
