Legal Education as a Significant Part of Law’s Social Ontology

Abstract

Touching upon issues such as lawyers’ critical compe-tences, the adequacy of law schools’ professional training or the way legal students relate to civic en-gagement, this paper will present the research activi-ties of the Centre for Legal Education and Social Theory, will analyze the results of empirical surveys on legal education conducted within the Centre and will advance a series of tentative proposals on how to epistemically and pedagogically reimagine legal educa-tion.
