美国现代法律教育与法理学谱系

American Modern Legal Education and Genealogy of Jurisprudence

美国现代法律教育的形成和发展,是与其现代法理学思想与方法的建构和发展紧密相关的;美国本土法理学是美国社会对法律之现实需求的实用性智识回应,法律教育则在这一智识回应过程中发挥着不可或缺的功用。随着现代法律教育的重心从哥伦比亚大学向哈佛、耶鲁、芝加哥等大学法学院的移转,美国现代法理学也先后经历了兰德尔式的法律科学传统、法律现实主义、法律研究的政策科学视角、过程法理学以及法律与经济学等交叉学科法理学研究的发展演进过程,从而形成了一个独具美国特色的现代法理学谱系。

The formation and evolvement of American modern legal education connect closely with the construction and development of the thoughts and methods of modern jurisprudence. American native jurisprudence is the practical and intellectual responses of American society to the realistic demands for law,and legal education plays a necessary role in this process. As the center of American legal education transferred from Columbia law school to Harvard,Yale and Chicago law schools,American modern jurisprudence experienced the evolving processes of Langdell-type legal-science tradition,legal realism,the perspective of policy science in legal research,process jurisprudence as well as the interdisciplinary jurisprudence researches of law and economics,which thus constructed one genealogy of modern jurisprudence with unique American characteristics.
