STUDENT PROFILE

Students should have an interest in the organisational systems of society, the configuration and organisation of political communities, and the principles and norms that govern personal and social relationships. They should demonstrate a curiosity for understanding the historical, philosophical and dogmatic foundations of legal systems and a concern for achieving, through their most appropriate design and application, the ideals of justice that inspire them.

They should also have the ability to analyse and understand social phenomena, diagnose them and propose solutions, as well as analytical, synthesising and group-related skills, the capacity for comprehension and abstraction, a flair for expression, sociability, a broad vision of the world and a perspective on its possible evolution. Knowledge of another language (preferably English) is also of interest and a necessity, as well as having an aptitude for communication.

OBJECTIVES

To have a refined legal language, that is, to have a solid understanding of legal dogma and exegesis.
To have an overview of the Spanish legal system, its material, formal and cognitive sources, the environment in which it is applied and upon which it is established.

To develop the skills and abilities necessary to apply the Spanish legal system and be in a position to perform the public and private functions –trial, advice, defence, prosecution, mediation or equivalent– of a law graduate.
To be able to evaluate, criticise, argue, elaborate and present propositions of a legal nature from an understanding of the contexts –social, economic, international, etc.– in which they arise.
To become an impartial jurist who assumes the exercise of their profession with the responsibility and diligence of someone who is aware of the commitment involved in a task –that of seeking and enforcing justice in each case– which is transcendental for the common and individual good.
