Lietuvoje beveik nevyksta jokia mokslinė diskusija apie mokymo metodus, taikomus teisininkus rengiančiuose universitetuose ir kitose aukštosiose mokyklose, tačiau kitų šalių teisininkai, tarp jų JAV bei Vokietijos, diskutuoja šia tema labai aktyviai, todėl straipsniu siekiama išprovokuoti diskusiją Lietuvoje šiuo visiems teisės dėstytojams aktualiu klausimu. Pirmojoje straipsnio dalyje aptariami iššūkiai, įtakojantys pažangesnių mokymosi ir studijavimo metodų paieškas, tokie kaip: globalizacijos transformacijos, studijuojančiųjų gebėjimų priimti informaciją kaita, aukštojo mokslo reforma. Antrojoje dalyje aptariama Vokietijos teisės mokymo tradicijų recepcija Lietuvoje bei taikomi teisės mokymo metodai palyginami su JAV naudojamais mokymo metodais. Trečioji straipsnio dalis skirta pažangesnių teisės mokymo metodų paieškoms VDU teisės fakultete.

High technologies, the Internet, informational websites link us with the remotest parts of the world at a click of a mouse. As a result, the society has become much more open, accessible and receptive both to positive and negative impacts of globalization. Can we, as teachers, claim to be preparing our students for these challenges? 2) It is noticeable that there are changes not only in the surrounding world; our students have changed a lot too.[...]
