Abstract
This contribution analyses how ESSEC, a typical French business school, takes into account ecology into its legal courses. Although ESSEC has made ecological and social transition one of the priorities of its strategy, courses in law are more or less green. Basic courses tend to be partially green whereas there are innovative courses where the ecological transformation is described as the key principle of the new economic law. The greening of legal courses is part of a global conversion of business schools towards transition. This concerns both traditional programmes and innovative programmes aimed specifically at training professionals for transition. The importance of the ecological transformation should encourage business schools to become more resolutely involved in the pioneering exploration of new economic and business models. To this end, economic law is required to play an essential role in organising businesses and markets that have to be transformed in order to align them with the requirements of a sustainable economic world.
