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 work addresses the relationship between the sentence, the academic preferences of UTPL Law students and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 16, which seeks peaceful, inclusive societies with access to justice. Through a socio-legal and theoretical-deductive approach, sentences, norms and doctrines related to human rights, governance and the fight against corruption in Ecuador were analyzed. The methodology included analysis, synthesis and exegetical techniques to examine how the skills acquired in key subjects such as Constitutional and Environmental Law relate to global problems such as inequality and sustainability. The results identified legal gaps, structural barriers and the need to strengthen legal training to prepare professionals who integrate innovative solutions to complex conflicts. This research highlights the role of legal education in promoting more just societies, underscoring the importance of connecting learning to current social challenges. In addition, it makes recommendations to improve the alignment between legal education and global goals, promoting a professional practice committed to social transformation and equity.
