The concept of 'internationalisation of legal education' can mean many different things to different people. For some, it means broadening the scope of the law curriculum; for others, it means expanding the number of international students. This article suggests that there are at least ten elements of internationalisation, including not only the curriculum and the student profile, but also student exchanges and other international programs for students, graduate career opportunities, faculty profile, research collaboration, faculty exchange and visitors programs, institutional networks, and international benchmarking. Teaching in English is also widely seen to be important. The article endorses a recent major report in Australia that encourages greater internationalisation. The article concludes with two major reasons why law schools should embrace internationalisation: first, to equip the lawyers of the future to work in an increasingly globalised environment, and, secondly, to make a contribution, however small, to international understanding, harmony and peace.
