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 present research focuses on "Academic preferences of law students and their connection to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)," with a special emphasis on SDG 16, which promotes justice, peace, and institutional strengthening. The general objective is to identify UTPL graduates in the field of criminal law, as well as their potential specializations, analyzing the factors that motivate them. For this reason, we studied Ruling No. 2583-19-EP/23 of the Ecuadorian Constitutional Court on the extraordinary protection action in relation to the expiration of pretrial detention. This decision alone demonstrates multiple violations of due process and reflects the discrepancy between criminal law and the need for robust institutions in accordance with SDG 16. With this approach, we seek to demonstrate the extent to which studying cases in the practice of law influences the professional and academic training of students, guiding them to practice law in terms that promote a more equitable and inclusive justice system.
