"There is a myth that lingers around legal education in many democracies. That myth
would have us believe that law students are admitted and then succeed based on raw
merit, and that law schools are neutral settings in which professors (also selected
and promoted based on merit) use their expertise to train those students to become
lawyers. Based on original, empirical research, this book investigates this myth from
myriad perspectives, diverse settings, and in different nations, revealing that hierarchies
of power and cultural norms shape and maintain inequities in legal education. Embedded
within law school cultures are assumptions that also stymie efforts at reform. The
book examines hidden pedagogical messages, showing how presumptions about theory's
relation to practice are refracted through the obfuscating lens of curricula. The
contributors also tackle questions of class and market as they affect law training.
Finally, this collection examines how structural barriers replicate injustice even
within institutions representing themselves as democratic and open, revealing common
dynamics across cultural and institutional forms. The chapters speak to similar issues
and to one another about the influence of context, images of law and lawyers, the
political economy of legal education, and the agency of students and faculty"
