Dean Harold Hongju Koh, an international law expert, has made globalization a priority. Under his leadership, Law School faculty and students are active around the globe. Leading foreign legal thinkers arrive at Yale every year to instruct students in international and foreign law. Students who hold foreign law degrees come to the Law School for a graduate education that will help them become leading intellectuals in their home countries.

The Law School’s longstanding international tradition occupies a central place in its intellectual life, and many legal issues are approached from a global perspective. The devotion of its faculty and students to its myriad international projects has made Yale a first-class global law school.
