Abstract

English Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify the stakeholders in the legal education system in Romania and to give an indication of the type of relationship between these stakeholders and the system by analysing how the outcome of the legal educations system meets the reasonably anticipated goals of these stakeholders. The conclusion advanced is that the most influential over the curricula and teaching methods are the professors and the academic institutions, despite the fact that the outcomes of the legal education system should not be deemed satisfactory for the other stakeholders. Hypotheses for explaining this state of affairs are proposed, in terms of institutional formal and informal leverage, in terms of legal culture of the Romanian society, as well as in costs-benefits analysis of the stakeholders.

Spanish Abstract: El objetivo de este artículo es identificar a los principales actores del sistema educativo jurídico de Rumanía e indicar el tipo de relación entre ellos y el sistema, por medio de un análisis de cómo el resultado del sistema educativo jurídico cumple con las expectativas razonables de dichos actores. La conclusión que podemos adelantar es que la parte más influyente sobre los currículums y los métodos de enseñanza la forman los profesores y las instituciones académicas, a pesar de que los resultados del sistema educativo jurídico no sean juzgados como satisfactorios por parte de los demás interesados. Se proponen hipótesis para explicar este estado de cosas, en términos de presiones institucionales formales e informales, en términos de la cultura jurídica de la sociedad rumana y, además, en términos de un análisis de coste-beneficio para los interesados.
