dc.abstract.enLegal education in Poland faces critical challenges due to traditional pedagogical approaches that emphasise rote memorisation over critical thinking and comprehensive understanding. This paper (the second in a two-part series) addresses these challenges by proposing the “text map method” a structured pedagogical strategy designed to enhance the reading comprehension of legal texts among first-year law students within the civil law system. The method involves visually organising text into a mapped format that highlights key components and logical connections, making it easier for students to grasp intricate legal concepts and terminology. The paper details the progression of the method from simpler texts to more complex legal rulings, reflecting a structured pedagogical approach that scales in difficulty in accordance with student proficiency. This paper advocates a reformed approach to legal education in Poland, emphasising the necessity of integrating comprehensive legal reading courses into the curriculum to better prepare students for the complexities of legal practice. It contributes to the broader discourse on legal education reform by demonstrating the potential impact of innovative teaching methods on student learning outcomes.
