Abstract

The search for a new European jus commune associated with the peregrinatio academica of legal scholars and law students which has taken place in the past thirty years in Europe has led to a reconsideration of teaching methods for law in the Member States of the European Union. At a time when the implementation of the Bologna process on the reform of higher education in Europe is soon to be implemented, this chapter assesses critically from a comparative perspective (and within their cultural and historical contexts) the French and English methods of legal education. The difficulty of transposing to another legal system foreign methods of legal teaching is also examined in the light of the number of students in England taking part in the study of the French legal system and its laws. In view of this difficulty of ‘legal transplantation’, the chapter makes a number of recommendations that attempt to create a rapprochement between the two systems in the context of the challenge posed by the unfolding future of European legal education.
