Abstract
The authors, reflecting on the paradigm of globalization, provide a case study that focuses on the modernization of the Bhutanese legal system. Historically isolated and never colonized, the landlocked kingdom of Bhutan has embarked on a major program of legal reforms. This has necessitated a reliance on foreign legal advisers and the reception of common law. This reception of common law is examined in the context of dispute resolution and the emergence of contemporary Bhutanese legal system.
