The character of the legal framing of the Swedish education system has been object to considerable changes in the past decade. Earlier research has called for the need of a better understanding of the implications that follow on these changes. Leaning on legal scholarly work on juridification this article explores Blichner´s and Molander’s (2008) concepts of juridification aiming to develop a conceptual framework for further research on juridification in education. This is done through an abductive process of inquiry in which five dimensions developed by Blichner and Molander are related to changes of education policy in Sweden in the area of equal treatment. As a result of the exploration a sixth dimension with sub-concepts is proposed, together by an overall logic of juridification of education and in education. By this logic the issue of enactment in relation to different dimensions is visualized, which contributes to a view of policy as both formally regulated and enacted by educational actors at different levels. All together the six dimensions of juridification open up for further research with an interest both in how juridification is enacted and what juridification does in terms of interpersonal relations, pedagogical work, teacher and school leadership professionalism etc. – as well as education at large.
