This paper pieces together the story of how C.C. Langdell’s brainchild was brought to Canada\, Québe c and the rest of the common law world in treading the momentous events an d geopolitics of the last century and a half\, and reflects on the lessons from this global experiment for the present and future of the case method . As with law itself\, the teaching of law is inextricably tied to local c ontexts and world politics\, thus making the future of the case method as difficult to predict as it would have been for Langdell and his contempora ries. Today’s different national and international contexts from that of 1 945 could represent an opportunity to reassess the merits of the case meth od in our more mature legal and educational environments\, freed from colo nial and neocolonial agendas. \n\nBiography\n\nHan-Ru Zhou is an Associate Professor of Law at the Université de Montréal and a visiting scholar at the uOttawa Public Law Centre.
