» APPROACH TO THE CRITICAL LEGAL STUDIES (CLS) REGARDING THE IDEOLOGICAL COMPONENT OF LEGAL EDUCATION
By Juan Jesús Garza Onofre

Sumary

The study of alternative movements is essential in order to keep perpetuating creative possibilities and address the logical path of history. Within the legal field, anti-formalist movements coalesce a number of heterogeneous positions. These find resonance nowadays in the resistance against the established and institutional patterns. The CLS, perhaps many times unintentionally inheriting the tradition of American legal realism and critical Marxism of the Frankfurt School, have managed to maintain up-to-date the idea that legal education as we know it today produces a certain type of lawyer which lacks criticism and ideology. The purpose of the study of ideology as a concept is to unravel its meaning, to thereby permeate notions of CLS on legal education and understand what they precisely refer to in this field.

Key words

Critical Legal Studies – Ideology – Legal Education – Anti-Formalism Movements – Philosophy of law
