Abstract
This paper covers the evolution of legal education from its religious and cultural origins to contemporary influences, providing a broad framework for exploring the complexity between religious norms and modern legislation. The concept of ”education” presents a range of information that we can view from a general perspective as a form of training for individuals, as well as for professionals who apply the law. Through our study, we propose an analysis of the concept of ”legal education” as found in the fields of history and law, thus demonstrating the interdisciplinary approach of this endeavor.Starting from the general-specific connection, we initiated an analysis of the concept of legal education from the perspective of canon law and common law to outline a comprehensive opinion on the foundation we are presenting for discussion within our paper.The material we propose begins with the origin and evolution of the term "legal education" and continues with a brief terminological analysis. We further address the role of legal education throughout the ages, from antiquity to the present day, and the place, religious implications, and influence of religious texts on justice and legal education in each era.The chosen method is qualitative research through observation. In this context, we defined the subject of the research (legal education), analyzed the concepts (on the one hand, the concept of educating individuals about rules, norms, and justice, and on the other, the training of future professionals/public officials who interpreted and/or applied the law), and systematized the collected data to identify the utility of the concept of legal education in each era.By examining the information contained in this paper, we open up a topic that can be further developed by those interested in our subject.
