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 analyzes the link between the academic preferences of UTPL law students and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with special emphasis on SDG 3. The central problem lies in the limitations of the Ecuadorian public health judicial system, especially in contexts of vulnerability, as evidenced by the analysis of Judgment No. 328-19-EP/20 of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador. The general objective was to understand the factors that influence the academic preferences of law graduates towards their professional projection, linking them to the resolution of global legal problems and their relationship with the SDGs. A qualitative, exploratory methodology was used, based on the systematic analysis of jurisprudence, doctrine, and regulations, supported by records and case studies. The main conclusion is that legal education should be oriented toward comprehensive training, with an ethical as well as a social focus, capable of responding to contemporary challenges in justice, health, and equity, thus strengthening compliance with the SDGs through professional practice.
