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 study focuses on the following topic: "The academic preferences of law students and their relationship with the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) through the study of jurisprudence." It particularly addresses SDG 16: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies and strengthen just, effective, and accountable institutions. The structure of the problems faced by law students at UTPL University drives their preferences toward certain subfields of law and primarily leads to some form of professional specialization. The case study involves the analysis of constitutional law in relation to SDG 16 by examining the reasoning of ruling No. 2945-18-EP/22 of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, which grants extraordinary relief to the protection of certain labor rights. A constitutional consideration of justice is legally excluded but largely unaddressed. A combination of legal, theoretical, and deductive approaches was applied to study the effect of legal education on graduates' perceptions of social justice issues from a global perspective. The primary focus of this study is to foster sustainable development by improving access to social resources and strengthening legal frameworks, along with inclusion through education without discrimination.
