ISBN: 3031408012
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 299

Book Description
This open access book presents innovative strategies to address cross-cutting topics and foster transversal competences. The modernization of European legal education presents a compelling challenge that calls for enhanced interdisciplinary collaboration among academic disciplines and innovative teaching methods. The volume introduces venues towards education innovation and engages with complex and emerging topics such as datafication, climate change, gender, and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. The insights presented not only emphasize the importance of preserving traditional approaches to legal disciplines and passing them on to future generations, but also underscore the need to critically reassess and revolutionize existing structures. As our societies become more diverse and our understanding of legitimacy, justice, and values undergoes transformations, it is imperative to reconsider the role of traditional values while exploring promising alternative approaches.

Pages : 250

Book Description
“Roma Tre Law Review” is a law review sponsored by the Department of Law of the University of Roma Tre. It is not focused on a specific topic or a set of issues, but it is aimed at surveying transversally – and from an interdisciplinary perspective – the national and trans-national legal landscape. Its main aim is to promote the diffusion of the Italian legal culture, and namely the type of scholarship produced at Roma Tre, abroad, as well as to investigate the development of the law in several fields and places from an Italian and European viewpoint. Accordingly, the review will host contributions ideally characterized by a specific set of features, and namely by their openness to comparative, historical, and interdisciplinary perspectives on all legal issues of not strictly local concern.

Reinventing Legal Education

Reinventing Legal Education PDF Author: Alberto Alemanno
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316730131
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 360

Book Description
European legal teaching - historically formalistic, doctrinal, hierarchical, and passive - is coming under increasing pressure to reimagine itself as pragmatic, policy-aware, and action-oriented. Out of this context, a bottom-up movement of university law clinics appears to be emerging in Europe. Although intellectually indebted to the US model, the European variant reflects legal education and practice in Europe, specifically the multi-layered and multi-genetic legal landscape resulting from the Europeanization and internationalization of national legal systems, the globalization of European legal markets, and the growing demand for civic engagement in view of increasingly powerful supra-national institutions. Through the prism of clinical legal education, Reinventing Legal Education is the first attempt to gather scholarly and systematic reflections on the developments taking place in European legal teaching and practice. This groundbreaking book should be read by anyone interested in how clinical legal education is reinventing legal education in Europe.

Design in Legal Education

Design in Legal Education PDF Author: Emily Allbon
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 0429664613
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 255

Book Description
This visually rich, experience-led collection explores what design can do for legal education. In recent decades design has increasingly come to be understood as a resource to improve other fields of public, private and civil society practice; and legal design—that is, the application of design-based methods to legal practice—is increasingly embedded in lawyering across the world. It brings together experts from multiple disciplines, professions and jurisdictions to reflect upon how designerly mindsets, processes and strategies can enhance teaching and learning across higher education, public legal information and legal practice; and will be of interest and use to those teaching and learning in any and all of those fields.

Educating European Lawyers

ISBN: 9781780680187
Category : Comparative law
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
The continuing and accelerating process of European integration impacts European legal education - or ought to have an impact on the ideas about legal education in Europe. Although legal education in Europe is mainly national and usually conducted in the national language, there are initiatives that seek to break through the national barriers and move towards a truly European legal education. The Maastricht European Law School, which focuses on European Union law, international law, and comparative law, is one of these initiatives. This edited volume reflects upon European legal education in the light of Maastricht's program, which has been offered for a couple of years now and which attracts a great number of students from all over Europe, and around the world as well. The book offers to interested readers ways forward, as well as obstacles and points to ponder. Educating European Lawyers pays attention to the developments in European law and the effects these have on legal education in general, as well as in other fields. Drawing from their own experiences, the book's contributors describe the current state of law, offering perspectives on future developments and explaining how they translate these developments into the law school curriculum. The book's commonality is that each contributor seeks to prepare students better for a future in a more integrated Europe. Educating European Lawyers will generate debate and move the European discussion forward to concrete steps to effectively establish European legal education for new generations of lawyers that will work in an increasingly Europeanized legal domain.

Lawyering Europe

Lawyering Europe PDF Author: Antoine Vauchez
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1782250948
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 306

Book Description
While scholarly writing has dealt with the role of law in the process of European integration, so far it has shed little light on the lawyers and communities of lawyers involved in that process. Law has been one of the most thoroughly investigated aspects of the European integration process, and EU law has become a well-established academic discipline, with the emergence more recently of an impressive body of legal and political science literature on 'European law in context'. Yet this field has been dominated by an essentially judicial narrative, focused on the role of the European courts, underestimating in the process the multifaceted roles lawyers and law play in the EU polity, notably the roles they play beyond the litigation arena. This volume seeks to promote a deeper understanding of European law as a social and political phenomenon, presenting a more complete view of the European legal field by looking beyond the courts, and at the same time broadening the scholarly horizon by exploring the ways in which European law is actually made. To do this it describes the roles of the great variety of actors who stand behind legal norms and decisions, bringing together perspectives from various disciplines (law, political science, political sociology and history), to offer a global multi-disciplinary reassessment of the role of 'law' and 'lawyers' in the European integration process.

The Rise of Comparative Law

The Rise of Comparative Law PDF Author: Bénédicte Fauvarque-Cosson
Publisher: ISBS
ISBN: 9789076871899
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 34

Book Description
Over the past years, academics have reacquired a significant role in the European law-making process. A truly European legal research, based on various networks has also been developed. This seventh Walter van Gerven Lecture examines the discrepancy between, on the one hand, the rise of European and comparative law and, on the other hand, the limited means allocated to the supranational education of future jurists. Legal insularity is no longer an option. Comparative law therefore should no longer be regarded as a pure academic and optional discipline, but as an effective way to lead professors, judges, and legislators out of national legal isolation. Moreover, the strength and durability of truly European legal thinking depends largely on the comparative dimension of education. (The Walter van Gerven Lectures are organized in close cooperation with the Ius Commune Research School, which unites legal scholars from the law faculties of the universities of Leuven, Maastricht, Utrecht, and Amsterdam.)
