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 sentencia

Abstract

Abstract: The present research focuses on "Academic preferences of law students and their connection to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the study of court rulings." This research focuses on SDG 6, which refers to clean water and sanitation. The overall objective is to analyze what factors determine UTPL graduates' preference for specific areas within legal science and for specialization in their professional practice. The study chose to examine Ruling No. 2167-21-EP/22 of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, which analyzes the pollution of the Monjas River and the rights that have been violated due to the lack of protection by the competent authorities. The research seeks to demonstrate that the analysis of court rulings in core subjects of the program can influence professional decisions toward the adoption of social responsibility and sustainability in the practice of law. It also highlights the need to implement a sustainability approach in legal practice to protect water resources and human rights.
