For a legal education methodology that values racial diversity, in and out of the classroom

Sumario: This text aims to present a reflection about the methodology of Legal Education implemented in Brazil. It starts from the necessity to rethink the way in which Law is taught in higher education institutions, which have prioritized a vertical teacher-student relationship, built unilaterally and decontextualized. In addition to these elements, this methodology ignores the new subjects of law – black men and women, people from the popular classes and those who belong to indigenous communities – who claim access to and stay in higher education, which includes the Law courses. The methodological strategy adopted favors the literature review. In the end, one argues for the indispensability of a legal teaching methodology that values the racial diversity of the country and, for that, needs to congregate an anti-racist approach, which encompasses a complete epistemological and cognitive shift in some areas.
