Abstract: Law is inextricably linked to society. Over the 170 years of legal education in Iași, society has undergone profound transformations and has continuously faced various challenges that have impacted not only its economic and political dimensions but also the legal sphere. In the postmodern era, effervescent concepts such as globalization, legal pluralism and legal transnationalism have captured the attention of jurists and sociologists alike, in their quest to identify the virtues and flaws these contemporary notions may generate. The tension between local legal traditions and global influences remains a compelling subject of scholarly debate.

Keywords: globalization, legal transnationalism, legal pluralism, uniformity and identity
