Sumary
Our investigation s main goal is to deal with the absence, in the curriculum of our School of Law,
of contents related to certain norms concerning the problematic of vulnerable sectors of our
society. We will focus in three of those sectors: Contraventional laws, the Rights of the peasants
and the Rights of the child. We are going to start considering that this absence in the
University´s curriculum has an influence in the professional practice of legal workers, and it has
social consequences, like the indifference to this reality, and the difficulty to revert this
situation.
We know that it is not the only factor that makes those sectors vulnerable, but the ignorance of
the available tools and the lack of knowledge of those lawyers (potential magistrates and
legislators) who could be in the position to help them, have a huge incidence at the moment of
reducing that vulnerability. So, we wonder ourselves, in what degree is the situation of vulnerable
sectors present in the curriculum of Laws Studies, and therefore: are we prepared to face problems
that are related with these sectors? |
