Preferencias académicas de los estudiantes de la Carrera de Derecho y su vinculación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) a través del estudio de sentencias

Abstract

Abstract: This study analyzes the academic preferences of law students and their relationship with the Sustainable Development Goals, with emphasis on the interpretation of judicial decisions. Through a case study, it evaluates how judicial decisions influence students' perception of fundamental rights and justice. Specifically, it examines the ruling of the Ecuadorian Constitutional Court concerning the action for protection filed by Revelo after she was erroneously declared dead, and the measures taken to restore her identity and issue an identification document. The results indicate that the study of judgments can be a valuable tool to foster students' interest in the SDGs, particularly SDG 16. Students tend to prefer academic approaches that incorporate real cases, highlighting the relevance of justice and institutional accountability. The research suggests that universities and law schools should integrate these experiences into their curricula to inspire students to work towards a more equitable and rights-respecting society.
