Book discusses the future of legal professions and proposes a new perspective on law education
Book released by professor from FGV Direito SP uses real cases to discuss legal education in times of transformation
Professor Emerson Ribeiro Fabiani, from the Master's and Professional Doctorate programs of FGV Direito SP and executive director of FGV LAW, has just released, co-authored with Mateus Tormin, the book Legal professions in transformation: sociology of law with active teaching methods. The work brings together a series of real cases to reflect on the impacts of social, economic, and technological changes on legal careers—and on the guidelines for legal education in Brazil.
"Today, legal professionals need to go beyond traditional forensic activities. They need to understand scenarios, work with data, and dialogue with other disciplines," Fabiani highlights.
Organized around six chapters, the publication addresses topics such as technology in advocacy, gender inequality, professional mobility, international expansion of law firms, and new forms of remuneration in the legal market. Each chapter is structured with cases, normative analysis, and discussion questions, encouraging participatory teaching.
The work is the result of discussions developed in three institutional spaces of the school: the Professional Master's Program, FGV LAW, and the Center for Teaching and Research in Innovation (CEPI). "These environments were crucial for maturing ideas and proposing a teaching model aligned with the contemporary challenges of the profession," the authors explain.
