Summary/Abstract: The study of development of legal education in the Ancient Rome is rarely done on its own, as it is included in the much larger problematic of the history of Roman jurisprudence. However, all of the works that examine Roman law as the creation of jurists, its philosophy and development, note the enormous importance of the education and training of jurists for the development of law itself as a science as well as for practice. In both cases, the question of continuity and the transmission of knowledge from the iuris prudentes (those who know the law) to their successors and audiences - future jurists - arises. Law professors would all be pleased if their students also have passion and affection to legal knowledge and high sense of responsibility for the profession.
