Sumario:The debate on new routes for quality teaching and research in Law is inextricably linked to the broader questions of globalization, the rise of the knowledge-society, the constitutionalization of Law, the crisis of the social categories underlying legal discourse, etc. This paper examines such issues by discussing the experience of the FGV Law School in São Paulo, Brazil. It examines the assumptions and consequences of the School's strategies for designing and adopting a novel curriculum. It also analyses FGV's teaching experimentalism, its new teaching materials, evaluation methods and performance assessment processes.
