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 study analyses the academic preferences of law students in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals, especially the goal that focuses on promoting peace, justice and building strong institutions, which is the 16th. The aim is to show how the legal education paradigm can fit within the principles of global sustainability to train lawyers with a genuine commitment to social justice and equity. This was done through a mixed methodology, consisting of the analysis of case law, interviews with students and a systematic review of published materials. The results indicate the importance of constitutional law in enhancing the protection of fundamental rights and the rule of law. However, a number of important shortcomings were also found, such as the low incorporation of the SDGs in the curricula of Law Schools. The analysis of a particular resolution showed significant progress in protecting the labour rights of persons with disabilities, indicating its direct relationship with the objectives of SDG 16. In doing so, the study illustrated the role of legal education in training professionals who understand and address international standards for complex social problems. The research highlights the importance of modifying curricula in the teaching of law in order to obtain leaders who integrate legal knowledge with a vision of sustainability and inclusion.
