Participatory legal teaching

FGV Sao Paulo Law School focuses on developing participatory legal education methodologies since its inception, which resulted in a large collection of contents on the subject. Teaching materials, videos, courses, events, and discussions are part of this collection, which counts on the collaboration of professors from other institutions also dedicated to participatory education methodologies. To complete its mission of contributing to the improvement of legal courses, and enhance the debate on education, FGV Sao Paulo Law School has gathered all this content in the Participatory Legal Teaching platform, a repository of materials available to society.
