Globalization, Lawyers, and Emerging Economies (GLEE). (Harvard Law School)

The GLEE Project investigates the impact of globalization on the corporate legal sector in emerging economies and the effect of changes in this sector on other parts of the legal order including legal education and the provision of legal services to underrepresented interests. The Project is the first comprehensive attempt to analyze the impact of globalization on the overall workings of corporate legal sectors in emerging economies as well as their increasing interactions with law firms and professions from advanced economies. It is conducted by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in the fields of law and the legal profession, globalization studies, economics and sociology. The Project analyzes the corporate legal sector with an eye to contributing to theoretical debates as well as acquiring and applying knowledge that will facilitate problem solving and foster innovation.
