Preferencias académicas de los estudiantes de la carrera de Derecho y su vinculación con los ODS a través del estudio de sentencias

Abstract

Abstract: The application of Ecuadorian legislation, in compliance with the international human rights treaties that the country has ratified, is based on the solid rule of law that prevails in the nation and is supported by all government institutions. To ensure that future lawyers are adequately prepared to promote fair and complete justice, it is imperative that legal education at national universities conform to rigorous academic standards. In this context, the study of judicial rulings that exemplify the fulfillment of justice at the national level through the application of Sustainable Law acquires fundamental relevance. The research is based on a systematic, theoretical-deductive and exegetical methodology, which demonstrates its socio-legal, exploratory and projective approach. The results of the research have revealed significant deficiencies in the comprehensive training of law students, due to the persistence of a traditional and standardized higher academic approach that does not take into account the development of necessary professional competencies and skills. As a result of these findings, the adoption of a more student-oriented educational approach is proposed, allowing them to improve their careers and professional prospects, which will ensure that future lawyers are adequately prepared to address the legal challenges that arise as a consequence of structural changes in contemporary society.
