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 paper, entitled "Academic Preferences of Law Students and Their Link to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Through the Study of Judgments," examines SDG 16, which addresses the promotion of peaceful societies and justice at a global level. The overall goal is to evaluate the factors that determine the preferences of UTPL law students for certain areas of legal science and their optional specialty in the professional practice of law, considering the possibility of access to justice as a key issue. A study is conducted of Judgment No. 185-17-SEP-CC of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador regarding the extraordinary action for the protection of a remedy in a criminal case. This reflection contributes to the analysis of the right to due process in the context of SDG 16 on justice, emphasizing the requirements of judicial systems that are easy and efficient. In conclusion, the study argues that the most preferred subjects, such as Criminal Law and others, help build legal culture based on social co-responsibility among professionals, which is expected from a perspective of justice and sustainable development.
