Globalization is transforming every sector of the world’s economy and, accordingly, is significantly affecting legal services. This nonprofit project aims to raise law students’ and beginning lawyers’ awareness of current and future legal service needs and guide young lawyers on their journey to identify how they can stay ahead of their competition.
I launched this blog in Turkish in April 2020 by considering the reader group this project can help the most. After carefully evaluating the feedback I received and the audience’s expectations, I decided to create and/or publish English content. Thus, I launched the English version of the blog. However, this does not necessarily mean that each post will be in both Turkish and English. I prefer to publish the posts in the language they were written/created in, as the original language best preserves the author’s/creator’s interpretation. There may be exceptions. Please choose the language of your preference to access posts in that specific language.
