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 research focuses on the topic: Academic Preferences of Law Students and Their Connection to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular emphasis on SDG 16, which promotes justice, peace, and the strengthening of institutions. The overall objective is to understand the factors that influence the preferences of UTPL graduates toward specific areas of legal science and their future specialization within them. To this end, an analysis is conducted of Judgment No. 1989-17-EP of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, issued on March 3, 2021, which addresses an extraordinary action for protection related to the right to due process and access to justice. Criminal Law is fundamental in this context, as it establishes the norms that regulate crimes and punishments, guaranteeing the protection of human rights. The ruling highlights the importance of the right to a second review, ensuring that convictions are reviewed by higher courts, which is crucial to preventing judicial errors and protecting the presumption of innocence.
