| description | The history of legal education in French colonial contexts remains largely unwritten. In this perspective, our article focuses on an institution that has gone either unnoticed or historiographically underestimated: the Pondicherry Law School. Despite a difficult start, the School took root under the Third Republic government. Unlike its more famous Indochinese counterpart, it operated without interruption under French rule until India's independence. Because of its functioning without academic teachers, the limited space in which it was established (French India), the fertile ground for reflection on Hindu and Islamic laws that it constituted and the sociology of its actors, the Pondicherry Law School is a laboratory to understand the micro-world of law and its incidence in local societies. |
