In order to re-make the world in its own image, neoliberal expansionism is predicated on the dominance of a particular regime of reason. The dominance of economic-juridical rationality relies in no small part on education to reproduce itself. In this sense, how and why a populace is educated in the law becomes a locus of struggle and of alternative and competing constructions of normative and political orders. Over the last decade the United Kingdom’s justice policy has become more attentive to the role of citizens’ knowledge of the law in the context of a reinvigorated drive toward competition in the legal services market. Reformism in legal services thereby emerges as a strategy geared toward the economisation of the state by propagating specific types of legal knowledge. This reorientation of legal education is considered through, on the one hand, the insights of recent theories of neoliberalism and, on the other, a wider lens relating the intersection of legal education to the juridical-political realm. Finally, the paper outlines alternative strategies of community-based educational practices rooted in resistance to legal and economic orthodoxies.

学院之外的法律教育：公共法律教育的新自由主义重新定位

为了按照自己的形象重塑世界，新自由主义扩张主义建立在特定理性制度的主导地位上。经济-法律理性的主导地位在很大程度上依赖于教育自身的再生产。从这个意义上说，如何以及为何对民众进行法律教育，这成为斗争以及规范和政治秩序的替代性和竞争性构建的场所。在过去十年中，英国的司法政策更加关注公民法律知识在法律服务市场竞争重振的背景下所发挥的作用。因此，法律服务中的改革主义作为一种通过传播特定类型的法律知识来实现​​国家经济化的战略而出现。这种法律教育的重新定位被认为是通过，一方面，新自由主义的最新理论的见解，另一方面，将法律教育与司法政治领域的交叉联系起来的更广泛的视角。最后，本文概述了植根于对法律和经济正统观念的抵制的基于社区的教育实践的替代策略。
