Abstract

Legal education in Algeria plays a crucial role in fostering a culture of rule of law and effective governance. A comprehensive survey was conducted among Algerian university students and faculty members to gather insights into the current state and future prospects of legal education in promoting rule of law. The survey revealed that a significant majority (75%) perceived legal education as essential for understanding and applying the principles of justice, while 60% believed it was vital for fostering critical thinking skills among students. However, there is room for improvement in practical application of legal theories and real-world scenarios. Legal education significantly contributes to enhancing the rule of law in Algeria through theoretical knowledge dissemination and skill development. Universities should integrate more practical elements into their curricula and encourage internships or externships to bridge theory with practice.
