Legal teaching in France

This article aims to analyse the legal teaching in France. Our approach is guided by a double perspective: the distinction between critical and mundane schools and the notion of crisis, brought from political science. After a brief historical introduction, we will demonstrate how, in the twentieth century, the legal teaching developed itself and produced what we call "classical legal teaching model". Our focus, departing from that double perspective, aim to a dynamics where great social transformations cause strong impact in french university and, on the other hand, how the body of law scholars, to keep their domination position, get to transmit throw the crisis the elements that guarantee that domination, on the "legal science specificities" pretext. Heritage is the political science brought key-concept to understand that dynamics and the classic model production. our conclusion is an attempt to confront that dynamics with the issues that the legal teaching faces nowadays - specially the discipline loss of Centrality - asking the question of how this new crisis will be faced by the law schools.
