Apple (1999), Goodson (2001), Fernandez and Fernandez (2005), Hobsbawm (2008), Francishetto (2010), Leite (2011) help to consider that such teaching stems from a curricular tradition favoring the maintenance of a Coimbrã style of teaching: dichotomy of theory and practice and of technical and political knowledge, based on the Positive Law. Tradition little challenged by the Portuguese-speaking legal education, contributing to its perpetuation, which makes it difficult for other curricular traditions criticism can be invented.
