%X The aim of this paper is to analyse the origins, the development and the long-term impact of the Critical Legal Movement (Mouvement Critique du Droit). Created some thirty years ago, this Movement resulted from the collective mobilisation of legal experts and political scientists across French cities (e.g., Lyon, Montpellier, Saint-Etienne, Toulouse and Paris). Referring mainly to Marxist theories, the Critical Legal Movement argued that law is deeply embedded in its social and its political context, and should thus be analysed through an interdisciplinary approach. Building on this critical perspective, the Movement developed a scientific project and teaching methods, which both differed from and opposed the way in which law was traditionally taught and studied in French Law Faculties. The Movement itself no longer exists, but it nevertheless had far-reaching consequences on the study of law. Indeed, the Critical Legal Movement was an opportunity to successfully explore alternative teaching methods and to create high quality research institutions. Este art¨ªculo pretende analizar los or¨ªgenes, el desarrollo y el impacto a largo plazo del Movimiento Cr¨ªtico del Derecho (Mouvement Critique du Droit). Creado hace unos treinta a os, este movimiento surgi¨® de la movilizaci¨®n colectiva de juristas y polit¨®logos de diferentes ciudades francesas (como Lyon, Montpellier, Saint-Etienne, Toulouse y Par¨ªs). Haciendo referencia principalmente a teor¨ªas marxistas, el Movimiento Cr¨ªtico del Derecho argumentaba que el derecho est¨¢ profundamente arraigado en su contexto social y pol¨ªtico, y por lo tanto se debe analizar desde un enfoque interdisciplinario. Partiendo de esta perspectiva cr¨ªtica, el movimiento desarroll¨® un proyecto cient¨ªfico y m¨¦todos educativos, que difer¨ªan y se opon¨ªan al sistema de ense anza y estudio del derecho en las facultades de derecho francesas. El movimiento en s¨ª mismo ya no existe, pero sin embargo, tuvo consecuencias de gran alcance en el estudio del derecho. En efecto, el Movimiento Cr¨ªtico del Derecho supuso la oportunidad de explorar con ¨¦xito m¨¦todos alternativos de ense anza y favoreci¨® la creaci¨®n de instituciones de investigaci¨®n de alta calidad.
