This work exposes some aspects of the sociological theories of education from Pierre Bourdieu and Basil Bernstein. The aim is to provide theoretical instruments to conduct legal education research with a focus on faculty. This paper is divided into two sections. In the first one I present a reflective perspective about sociological research in the legal field. In the second section there is an analysis of the relevant dimensions of the theories of Bourdieu and Bernstein. A detailed focus on Bourdieu’s Homo Academicus is made because its relevance in university research. In the conclusions I suggest how to approach to classical topics in legal education with these sociological concepts.
