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 sentencia

Abstract

Abstract: The present research, entitled "Academic Preferences of Law Students and Their Connection to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the Study of Judgments," had the general objective of understanding the factors that influence the educational preferences of Law graduates from the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL) and how these relate to SDG 16. The study was conducted using Judgment No. 005-18-SEP-CC. A qualitative and exploratory socio-legal methodology was employed. Techniques such as data collection, analysis of court judgments, and online documentary research were used, supported by tools such as fact sheets and thematic linking. The results revealed violations of the constitutional rights to due process, legal certainty, and effective judicial protection. The dispute arose from a divorce decree annulment proceeding, in which Pedro Alfonso Carillo Benítez alleged procedural irregularities, such as the failure to select a competent judge and an improper review by the Cassation Chamber of the National Court of Justice. In conclusion, the case reflects the need to consolidate an efficient, transparent, and rights-respecting judicial system in Ecuador.
