ABSTRACT
This chapter contributes to reflection on the question of a radically transsystemic or integrated legal education as part of a contribution to a conference celebrating the tenth anniversary of the first graduating class of McGill's transsystemic or integrated teaching programme and aims to integrate developments in legal thoughts into the teaching of law. In the so-called discipline of law, the reversal of a disciplining process tied to legal nationalism and the centrality of the posited law of the nation-state goes, in part at least, by the name of the critique of legal positivism. Robert Cover famously imagines law without the state as 'paideic' before introducing the state so as to address the violence legal officials and judges do. The physical violence judges' command is tied to what Cover calls their 'jurispathic' or law-killing function. Legendre suggests that 'Management' is essentially continuous with a Western tradition of the 'non-somatic', that is, non-bodily interpretation of texts.
