Democracy, Legal Education and the Political - Bog

The articles collected in the book present a view of legal education in Central and Eastern Europe, considering the relationship between democracy and the Political. In this perspective, legal education is a forum for this articulation and an area for a discursive search for solutions. On the one hand, democracy is a continuous object of research for the legal academia; legal theorists and constitutionalists debate the juridical foundations of modern constitutionalism, democracy and the rule of law. On the other hand, as university teachers, legal academics contribute to shaping future lawyer-citizens by instilling in them a certain vision of civic virtues and democratic values.
