Judges and lawyers at school: interactionist sociology of legal education

Abstract

of preparation for the ENM examination 1 and on the teaching of law in France. 2 One of the difficulties found is the huge gap between the very numerous writings on teaching at the ENM 3 and the almost nonexistent analyses of the professional learning of lawyers in the bar schools.In a first part, the idea of the interactionist approach and its consequences for the analysis of pedagogical situations will be developed. Then, the data from the observation carried out at the NHS and finally at the EFB will be presented. The guiding idea is to investigate in a fine and detailed manner legal teaching practices that go beyond the traditional framework of the known "judicial necks".
