FLORES, Imer B.. The Struggle For Legal Philosophy (Vis-À-Vis Legal Education): Methods and Problems. Mex. law rev [online]. 2012, vol.5, n.1, pp.125-147. ISSN 2448-5306.

The article challenges the empirical claim that suggests that the legal skills needed to successfully practice law are not -and cannot be- learned at law schools, and contrasts it with the conceptual claim that indicates that the legal tasks needed for practicing law presuppose a legal theory -or at least requires a link between theory and practice. Hence, the dual claim -empirical and conceptual - is that legal philosophy is an important part of a legal curriculum and necessary to bridge, rather than to deepen, the existing gap between theory and practice.

Palabras llave : Jurisprudence; legal education; legal philosophy; problematic turn; theory and practice.
