After an outline of the fundamental importance of law both in a capitalist society and in a society in transition from capitalism to socialism, the author points out the meaning of the concept of transition', its contradictions, and implications for legal education in Zimbabwe. He then indicates the similarity between the Roman/Roman-Dutch and the 'law in context' approaches to legal education as well as the difference between both approaches on the one hand and a socialist approach on the other.
