The Case of Finnish Innovative Society: Shaping Legal Higher Education in Line with the Ideals of Social Solidarity

Summary/Abstract: In a dynamically changing World, the process of educating students atuniversities must also change. The changes implemented, however,should be well thought out. The events of the last two years related to the pandemic have caused a global revolution in teaching methods, whichhave had to be modified to transfer knowledge remotely. Such ad hocchanges are contributing to a change in how higher education is viewed,especially in the context of traditional fields of studies such as the law,which have so far been reluctant to embrace new trends in curriculum design and educational methods. Because of their natural attachment to national legal systems, these faculties have been slower than others toundergo internationalisation, i.e. student exchanges in the educational process (due to difficulties with subjects being recognised abroad). Foryears, the Nordic countries, and especially Finland, have been amongthe leading countries in the world with regard to shaping effective and innovative systems of education, including higher education.
