Taking up the study of legal education in distinctly biopolitical
terms, this book provides a critical and political analysis of
resistance in the law school. Legal education concerns the complex
pathways by which an individual becomes a lawyer, making the
journey from lay-person to expert, from student to practitioner. To
pose the idea of a biopolitics of legal education is not only to
recognise the tensions surrounding this journey, but also to
recognise that legal education is a key site in which the subject
engages, and is engaged by, a particular structure - and here the
particular structure of the law school. This book explores the
resistance to that structure, including: different ways in which
law's pedagogic structures might be incomplete, or are being fought
against; the use of less conventional elements of cultural
discourse to resist the abstraction of the lawyer in students'
subject formation; the centralisation of queer and feminist
discourses to disrupt the hierarchies of the legal curriculum; the
use of digital technologies; the place of embodiment in legal
education settings, and the impacts of post-human knowledges and
contexts on legal learning. Assembling original, field-defining
essays by both leading international scholars as well as emerging
researchers, it constitutes indispensable resource in legal
education research and scholarship that will appeal to legal
academics everywhere.
