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:The research focuses on the academic preferences of law students and their link to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), examining judicial rulings to determine the role that future lawyers could play in solving global legal problems. It specializes in SDG 6, which seeks to ensure access to drinking water and sanitation, highlighting its relevance to the quality of life and the mitigation of environmental and social dilemmas. A theoretical-deductive and socio-legal approach is used in the research, with analysis of jurisprudence, regulations and legal principles, focusing on key judicial rulings, such as Case No. 232-15-JP/21. The report highlights deficiencies in Ecuadorian public policies to achieve the SDGs, identifying obstacles such as corruption, inequality and lack of access to essential services. Through the exploration of cases, it is demonstrated that the knowledge acquired in the field of environmental law, together with practical skills, can reinforce the training of lawyers committed to equity and sustainable development. Ultimately, it is concluded that greater integration of the SDGs in legal education and public policies could significantly contribute to a more just and sustainable society.
