Abstract

The author brings into context the issue of employability of law graduates with
the current problems in legal education, namely with the fact that number of graduates
coming from Croatian law schools have tremendous problems with finding a job after
graduation. The author calls for a change in the system of legal education and makes
a proposal that a new approach to the matter at issue needs to be adopted as soon as
possible. The central part of reform should consider the development of completely
new and competitive faculty curricula that would reflect changes in the national legal
system and its surroundings as well as projections of development of markets for legal
services at home and abroad. In the world of change only those who are able to adapt
to the market needs and changes have a chance to survive in an ever faster changing
world of law, markets and educational policies.
