Abstract This article attempts to analyze the challenges that legal education faces vis a vis the current social transformations. In this regard the article tackles the following questions: To what extent does legal education search for social change or reproduction of social inequalities in a context such as the Colombian case? And, what type of conditions could make a contribution in the pursuit of training lawyers capable of constructing a more democratic and inclusive society? This article answers to these questions from an interdisciplinary perspective based on previous research conducted by the author and a literature review on sociology on education, law and society studies and critical legal theory. The explanation of the argument is broken into three main parts. First, the article draws on different critiques about the education system and legal training; second, it gives account about the challenges that contemporary social changes cause on legal education, and third, the last makes some suggestions regarding legal education. |
