Abstract
The French legislature now expects higher education institutions to train their students on issues related to sustainable development and the ecological transition. This article sheds light on the role that such issues currently play in business and economic law courses, based on interviews performed with 21 instructors in the framework of the research project on the Ecological Transition of Economic Law (TEDE). In light of these interviews, it seems likely that environmental issues will increasingly be built into business and economic law courses taught at French law schools in the future. On the other hand, it will be up to each academic institution and each instructor to determine the extent to which the ecological crisis should serve as an impetus to the renewal of the pedagogic project and methods of business and economic law.
