&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;South Korea is set to become the next frontier for US law firms, as the country&amp;#8217;s traditionally insular legal industry liberalizes as&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The Foreign Legal Consultant Act&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; takes effect in September, allowing certain foreign law firms to operate &amp;#8216;foreign legal consultancy&amp;#8217; businesses in Korea.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Meanwhile, the next frontier in US legal education opens next month, as the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;conspicuously innovative&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; UC-Irvine law school begins its inaugural semester.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Interestingly, these frontiers intersect in the form of a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Korea Law Center&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;, a joint project between the Irvine law and business schools,&amp;nbsp;in partnership with&amp;nbsp;two Korean law schools, which will offer &amp;#8220;legal education, certifications, mediation, expert witnesses, consulting, research and public policy studies, as well as a clinical program that primarily will provide legal advice to Koreans who want to do business in Orange County, Calif., where Irvine is located.&amp;#8221;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Every admitted applicant to Irvine Law&amp;#8217;s first-ever class received a personal call from Dean Erwin Chemerinsky&amp;#8212;the frequent U.S. Supreme Court advocate and the most-cited scholar in all of legal academia. Chemerinsky is a bit of polarizing figure: he was &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;hired and fired and hired again&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; before the school was ever opened for business.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Check out this video, where he talks about his &amp;#8220;next big thing&amp;#8221;:&amp;nbsp;the attempt to create the first top-tier American law school to be founded in more than 50 years and the &quot;constant tension to be sufficiently traditional to be credible and sufficiently innovative to justify why we exist and take advantage of the blank slate we have.&quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; -posted by brian&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
