Abstract

This article explores the professional career of law graduates from the Universidad Metropolitana in Caracas from 2006 to 2016. More than half of the 353 located graduates work outside of Venezuela, with a sizable proportion in law-related jobs. This finding goes against the common view that Venezuelan legal education is only nationally focused. The interviews explored the graduates’ opinions regarding their legal education and their strategies for adapting to foreign legal cultures.

Keywords:

Venezuelan lawyers, legal education, expatriate lawyers, Venezuelan crisis
