John Ohnesorge recently participated in two events at the Harvard Law School as part of the project on Globalization, Lawyers, and Emerging Economies (GLEE).  The first event, entitled "The Global Legal Profession," explored the globalization of the practice of law, as well as the roles of government, and of legal education, in that process. The second event, entitled "The Indian Legal Profession in the Age of Globalization," examined numerous ways in which globalization is affecting the practice of law in India, one of the countries at the core of the GLEE project.  The University of Wisconsin Law School and Harvard Law School are the two founding institutional members of GLEE.  In addition to Professor Ohnesorge, UW faculty participating in GLEE include David Trubek, Sida Liu, Louise Trubek, Shubha Ghosh, and Marc Galanter.
