Abstract
Laws inevitably reflect political, social, and economic histories and more recent developments regardless of jurisdiction. Recent years have brought significant and rapid change in legal context and practice. Legal education must respond to this, if necessary with new methods and approaches to enable lawyers, judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officers to meet the requirements of what is now a global market and to further serve the interests of society. Many lawyers are now expected to perform their work in a domestic and wider context. The education system of Vietnam in general, and legal education in particular, has raised many issues and challenges and the question remains—how to reform legal education to meet relevant needs. This article describes and analyses current legal education provision and identifies potential solutions for reform.
