Summary/Abstract: The earliest law school system which can be compared to our higher legal education was established in the late Roman Empire. Its aim was to train professional jurists for courts and administration in the huge Roman Empire of postclassical times. The most famous among the law schools was one in Berytus. The school was active at least for 3 centuries. It was the leading Roman law school from the times of Diocletian (284–305) to Justinian (527–565). The most prolific period of Beirut›s law school was the fifth century. It is known as the era of the Ecumenical masters or Universal professors. The focus of this paper is an educational program of studies, teaching literature and teaching methods in the 5th century, and all-embracing reform under the emperor Justinian in the first half of the 6th century.
