The work focuses on showing that Morin’s proposal is admissible and interesting for changing the paradigm of legal education in Brazil. Therefore, the text reconstructs the concept of knowledge, method and legal teaching. To establish this relationship, the authors built the study under the aegis of bibliographical analysis, articulating the deductive methods with the complex. It is concluded that Law can be taught in several ways, but the methodology or theory of complexity proves to be interesting as it makes the scholar think with his own epistemologies. Keywords: Complex Method, Legal Education, Morin. 1 INTRODUCTION Today there is an extremely complicated problem for the educator, for the trainer, namely: how to respond to the challenges of the vertiginous transformations of the means of communication, of information technologies, disseminated on a global scale? In a world where the process of knowledge is atomized, how to make teaching an exercise for the progress of society, human capital, citizenship? 1 The answer, it seems to us, is simple! Use the methods appropriately. Knowledge is acquired through methods. But the method is not only the way by which knowledge is given. The method is the very knowledge employed for the new knowledge. It is the opposition between knowing and knowledge. It is the making of knowledge 2 . It is how knowledge 1 CITELLI, Adilson. Comunicação e Educação: A Linguagem em Movimento. São Paulo.

We can say that generically these actions correspond to interventions of a technical nature, constituting the basis of the pedagogical process itself.
