DESIGUALDADES DE GÊNERO EM OCUPAÇÕES JURÍDICAS

Abstract The present article seeks to analyze empirically how the educational effect of women in higher education Law courses affects their insertion into the formal labor market. To achieve this goal, we used data from the Relação Anual de Informações Sociais [Annual Social Information Report] (RAIS) to analyze all occupational fields that require legal training. The data show that women were already the majority as court clerks and the like, and became the majority in private law from 2010 onwards. As for the income received, controlled by other variables, women tend to earn less than men in the same occupations, with higher incomes only among public prosecutors and lawyers.

The researcher noted، through his work in the legal department of the university and also through his teaching of the courses of administrative law and the administrative judiciary of the Faculty of Law، that there are many problems related to career promotions for employees in all organizations، And due to the nature of these decisions, the discretion and rights of the staff member overlap, which puts the general authority in between applying administrative justice and the granting of functional rights. In this paper, the researcher discussed the basic conditions set by the legislator for promotion as well as administrative and judicial oversight of the administration's actions. In particular، through extrapolation of legal texts and judicial decisions, the administrative procedures used by the Department for the granting of career promotions were studied as well as the problems associated with these decisions and what guarantees are approved by the legislator to ensure that the Department does not deviate its authority from the public good. Also, judicial guarantees for employees' access to their occupational rights, this was done in two researches: the first is about the definition of promotion and its conditions and the second is about the administrative and judicial safeguards for career promotion.

Factors of formation of legal consciousness in Russia in the 18th - first half of the 19th centuries.

The article deals with the peculiarities of formation of legal consciousness in Russia. The problem of human rights was raised in the 18th century among the noble elite, who realised the need for political rights for protection from arbitrary power. With the exception of Radishchev's book, where the theory of natural law was consistently applied, the problem of civil human rights was indirectly sounded only within the framework of university courses of natural law, which to some extent influenced the formation of legal consciousness of the enlightened strata of society. Reformation projection of Alexander I did not change the legal situation in essence. The usurpation of political issues by Nicholas I led to the transformation of legal discourse into ethical discourse, although Nicholas I himself for some time considered natural law discourse acceptable. In theoretical terms, the identification of natural law with the idea of natural human rights is not quite legitimate: natural law doctrine does not assert the necessity and unconditional nature of human rights. The concept of natural human rights as a political conclusion emerged in the New Age and was developed during the Enlightenment, which was taken up in Russia by Radishchev and the Decembrists, and then left public discourse for a long time. The anti-legalism and paternalism rooted in the public consciousness, the lack of a stable original liberal tradition determined the generally low legal culture of society, weak legal public discourse, which was reflected in the limited nature of reforms, the dependent state of legal institutions and the system of legal proceedings, and the underdevelopment of representation.

Humanistic legal sciences: notes for a rescue on fundamental research in law

This paper proposes a reflection on fundamental research in law, which, according to Paulo Ferreira da Cunha, has its own name: humanistic legal sciences. In this sense, it addresses a problem identified five decades ago by Francisco Puy in Spain and taken up by Sebastião Cruz and Paulo Ferreira da Cunha in Portugal: the displacement, reduction or exclusion of humanistic legal sciences from the teaching plans of law courses, which has been creating a scenario of “epistemological sterility”. When not excluded, these sciences are attacked or are the object of disregard by many practical lawyers and students, who unthinkingly and blindly reproduce a posture of overvaluing dogmatic-legal knowledge to the detriment of legal-humanistic knowledge. The aim is thus to rescue the role of humanistic legal sciences in legal education, in addition to presenting the main arguments in defence of Puy, Cruz and Ferreira da Cunha.

Perception of Students of Polytechnic Sultan Idris Shah, Selangor, Towards the Application of Learning Module

The modular learning method is essential for helping students reinforce their understanding and to enhance excellence. To demonstrate the actual impact of the module on the students' learning, it is necessary to evaluate the students' impressions and perceptions of the created module. This study aims to determine how students in the second semester of the Introduc-tion to Islamic Law (KPPI) course at Polytechnic Sultan Idris Shah perceive the application of learning module. The constructs tested in this study are learning module evaluation, learning module function and students’ ac-ceptance. The study design is descriptive by applying a quantitative approach through the questionnaire (sur-vey instruments). From a pilot study of 30 students, the Cronbach's alpha reliability value received was 0.973. This study applied SPSS 26.0 software to analyze data in the form of frequency, mean, percentage, and standard deviation. Respondents consisted of 70 second semes-ter students who took KPPI. Collectively, the research findings demonstrated that the mean and standard devi-ation of the module evaluation construct, module func-tion and students’ acceptance were high. This proves that the KPPI learning module assists students in en-hancing their comprehension, generating interest, and displaying positive acceptance. The research findings also prove that the application of learning module is still the main choice as a learning aid in creating a learning environment conducive to excellence.

Teaching and Engaging Adult Law Learners in a Singapore Business Law Class—A Reflection of Legal Teaching Strategies

In an environment that aims to promote lifelong and adult learning, legal education needs to be acutely aware of the different skill and learning aptitudes among adult students as well as their motivation and interest. I present a case study of a first-year undergraduate law course, law of business organisation, at the Singapore University of Social Sciences where I used various adult teaching techniques, a strategy of gamification, and digital tools to engage and spark an interest in my law classroom. Overall, students have found the approach successful in cultivating their interests and developing their practical skills. The findings speak to broader concepts of active engagement and developing their practical knowledge to aid law students in their learning and future careers. Albert Einstein once said that ‘it is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge’. 2 The article is divided into five parts, the first part provides an overview of the pedagogy of adult teaching and learning, the second part provides an overview of generic curriculum approaches at the law school, the third part covers the tailored approach to teach adult learners, the fourth part examines in further detail specific teaching methods for a business law module which I am course leader for, and the fifth part explores the effectiveness of these teaching methods.

The Role of Constitutional Law in Improving Student's Critical Thinking Ability Through Online Learning

Lecturers are required to be effective and up to date in maximizing the use of existing learning technology to respond to the demands of very rapid technological developments and the demands of competition in the era of globalization. The application of self-directed and distance learning should be introduced and implemented in universities. Involvement in the application of online learning systems must be able to encourage students to always think critically. In the present context, critical thinking is a must for students. This paper discusses the role of constitutional law courses in increasing the critical power of students in online learning. This research uses a field study and literature study approach, which combines data obtained from various literature in the form of books, journal articles, and facts in the field. In short, this study found that online learning can be a good support for students to improve their critical thinking skills. However, there are several problems in its implementation which include socio-cultural problems, previous offline learning habits, and the habit of using the latest technology in learning. Well-designed online discussions, critical thinking learning content, and instructions that are formulated and given appropriately are some of the factors needed and become recommendations for lecturers in carrying out online learning to improve students’ critical thinking skills.

Research on the experimental principle of deep integration of LETS software and criminal procedure under the background of artificial intelligence

Abstract The teaching of law courses in Legal Experimental Teaching System (LETS) enables students to have a clearer understanding of the litigation process, master the format and production of various criminal litigation legal documents and train their communication and collaboration skills in litigation by cooperating to complete the experimental process. However, there are some shortcomings in experimental teaching using the LETS system, such as teachers being unable give real-time guidance and unable to reflect the principle of direct speech in litigation. Given these problems, this paper proposes a framework for the deep integration of LETS software and criminal litigation under the background of artificial intelligence (AI). First, it introduces the current situation and development of criminal litigation under the background of AI. Then, a set of AI parameters is designed based on the background of LETS software and criminal proceedings deep integration framework, and at the same time, the framework is used for intelligent learning criminal proceedings. The experimental results show that LETS software can better match the algorithm of the AI environment to push personalised criminal procedure learning courses. The experiment also shows that this framework can provide new ideas and development for the future study of criminal procedure.

Ways of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: Representations in the panorama of law education at the Catholic University of Mozambique

Given the current demands in higher education that emphasize the need to change teaching and learning strategies, it is necessary to understand what is being done by teachers and students in a scenario that impels the progressive empowerment of student work and confronts teachers with the challenge of promoting in those skills, as well as techniques. Student success or failure is closely related to the organization of teaching institutions and the way teachers teach. This article aims to understand the representations that encompass the professors and students of the law course of the Catholic University of Mozambique (UCM) and their influence on how to teach, learn and evaluate this course. Methodologically it is a case study, of interpretative nature, being inserted in a research of eminently qualitative character. A questionnaire survey was applied to 153 students attending the third and fourth years of law school, in three of the faculties of UCM (Faculty of Tourism and Informatics Management, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences and Faculty of Law respectively). In addition, 23 teachers who teach subjects on this course also participated in the survey. A documentary analysis of the curricular program of the course and literature review were also undertaken. The study results indicate that UCM law teachers and students understand the teaching, learning and assessment process of this course from a different perspective. Teachers conceive of teaching as the transmission of knowledge. Their main challenges are: pedagogical training, research and student assessment. In turn, students believe that in order to develop their learning, teachers should interact more with students, investigate more and use advanced teaching methods, that is that teachers should appropriate the logic of teacher-student interaction.

The Status Quo, Existing Problems and Model Innovation of Training High-quality Legal Talents in the Belt and Road Initiative in the Era of Artificial Education

The arrival of the era of artificial intelligence education provides a new platform for the development of higher education. The application of artificial intelligence education means enriches and expands the traditional education mode and connotation, and plays an active role in the supply of learning resources and the innovation of teaching mode. In the process of cultivating talents under the rule of law, artificial intelligence and information resources have given new vitality to traditional legal education. The integration of artificial intelligence in law case teaching and thematic discussion makes boring cases more vivid and vivid, enhances students' perceptual knowledge and practical consciousness, enhances the attractiveness of law class and promotes the teaching effect of law courses. High-quality talents under the rule of law are an important part of our country's higher education talent training objectives, an important guarantee of human resources under the rule of law to promote the overall strategy of ruling the country according to law, and an important driving factor for the smooth practice of the Belt and Road Initiative construction. Based on the background of the development of artificial intelligence technology, it is of great theoretical value and practical significance to explore the present situation of cultivating talents under the rule of law in China, analyze the existing problems, and seek the mode innovation of cultivating high-quality talents under the rule of law in the Belt and Road Initiative.

Examining Preparatory Testing and Other Factors Associated With Performance on the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination

Objective. To evaluate whether the score on the Pre-Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (Pre-MPJE) predicts pharmacy students' performance on the MPJE, and to determine whether demographics, pre-pharmacy school factors, or pharmacy school factors affect MPJE outcomes.Methods. We performed a retrospective review of pharmacy school graduates' (N = 156) MPJE scores, Pre-MPJE scores, demographics, pre-pharmacy school academic performance factors, and pharmacy school academic performance factors. Bivariate and correlational analyses were conducted along with multiple linear regression models to determine the influence of variables on the MPJE total scaled score.Results. A total of 136 pharmacy school graduates were included, with most being female (59%) and non-Hispanic White students (75%). The score on the Pre-MPJE was not significantly correlated with students' first-attempt MPJE pass-fail outcome or total scaled score. Factors that were correlated with passing the MPJE were a younger age at graduation, a higher pharmacy law course grade, Pharmacy Curriculum Outcomes Assessment (PCOA) examination scores, specifically scaled total scores and scaled scores for content areas 1-4 and final pharmacy school grade point average (GPA). The MPJE total scaled score was correlated with a higher pre-pharmacy school GPA, pharmacy law course grade, PCOA total and content area 1-4 scaled scores, and final pharmacy school GPA. However, regression models found that the greatest variance in MPJE total scaled score was contributed by the pharmacy law course grade. The total scaled score on the PCOA contributed to some variance for all MPJE takers, but only the pharmacy law course grade significantly influenced the in-state MPJE total scaled score.Conclusion. The findings did not show that the Pre-MPJE score was a predictor for passing the MPJE or for the MPJE total scaled score. The most important determinant of the MPJE total scaled score was a student's performance in the pharmacy law course.

We need to talk about trauma: Integrating trauma‐informed practice into the family law classroom

AbstractThe reality of law schools being hotbeds of toxic stress is not new. Most law schools already have instituted student wellness initiatives focused on supporting students through the rigors of law school, and spotting outside stressors which impact students' legal education and providing support. While these initiatives are crucial, lessons about healthy boundaries, combating toxic stress and the role of trauma, need to be further integrated into law school curricula. The field of trauma‐informed practice presents a rich set of tools from which to accomplish these goals. While trauma‐informed practice has implications for all of legal education, the focus of this essay is on the teaching of family law. Law school family law courses create an ideal platform for incorporating a trauma‐informed perspective and introducing law students to trauma‐ informed skills. While some law school clinics introduce and implement principles of trauma‐informed practice to law students, it is less common that trauma‐informed practice is introduced through traditional doctrinal or skills classes. This article will explore how an understanding of trauma and trauma‐informed practice can inform how family law courses are taught in United States law schools.

Creating opportunities to “prepare, perform, and reflect” in a doctrinal family law course

AbstractThis article details “why” and “how to” use in‐depth lawyering simulations in a doctrinal Family Law course. Students are placed in‐role as lawyers engaged in a specific lawyering task: negotiating a divorce settlement on behalf of a client, representing a client in a child custody mediation, and interviewing and counseling a client to revise a draft premarital agreement. Incorporating these intensive lawyering simulations into a doctrinal course advances numerous pedagogical and curricular goals. The article explains the instructional design for each simulation, from assignments and assessment to legal doctrine, specific lawyering skills introduced, and structured reflection and debrief.

The past, present, and future of jurisprudence: The difference between 'jurisprudence' as a study and 'law practice' as a profession

법학전문대학원 제도가 도입된 후 법학은 큰 변화를 맞이하였다. 바로 학문으로서의 법학의 시대는 저물고 직업으로서의 법률실무가의 시대가 도래한 것이다. 학문으로서의 법학의 역사는 오래되었다. 서양에서는 로마 시대부터 학식 법률가들이 법학의 발전을 이끌었다. 이후 중세시대 대학교의 개교도 법학 교육과 깊은 연관성을 가지고 있었다. 서양의 여러 문화와 문명의 발전에 법학이 이론적 기초를 제공한 것이다. 동양에서도 오래전부터 서양과는 다른 형태의 율학(律學)이 발전되고 계승되었다. 또한 동양에서는 국가 차원의 법학 교육뿐만 아니라, 민간에서는 송사소설(訟事小說)을 활용하여 법학 교육을 하기도 하였다. 한국에서는 1890년대 이후에야 근대적 의미의 법학 교육이 도입되었다. 법관양성소와 법학교에서 교재로 사용하기 위해 일본의 법학통론 교과서 등을 저본으로 법학교과서를 만들어 학생들에게 교육을 하였다. 대표적으로 주정균의 저서인 법학통론을 들 수 있다. 해방 이후 한국 법학은 일제 잔재인 일본식 법학을 극복하기 위한 노력을 하였다. 특히 초기 법학자들은 독일의 이론을 받아들이면서도, 이를 한국 실정에 맞게 변용하려 하였고, 한국법제사 등 한국 고유의 법학 교과목이 개발되기도 하였다. 현재 한국의 법학 수준은 세계 여러 나라에 비추어 부족하지 않다. 도리어 한국의 로마법 연구는 다른 나라의 로마법 연구를 압도하는 수준이기도 하다. 그렇지만 법학의 미래는 암울하다고 할 것이다. 학문으로서의 법학은 고사가 되었고, 오래지 않아 법학은 그 명맥이 끊어질 수도 있다. 이는 법학전문대학원을 개청하면서 법학과를 폐지한 것이 제1차적 원인이라 할 것이다. 법학전문대학원은 법률실무가를 양성하는 기관이고, 법과대학은 법학자를 양성할 수 있는 기관이다. 그런 의미에서 지금이라도 법학전문대학원 체제와 학부 법과대학을 병행할 수 있는 제도적 길을 모색할 필요가 있다.After the introduction of the law school system, legal studies changed drastically. The era of studying law as an academic discipline has passed and the era of legal practitioners as a profession has arrived. Law as a discipline has a long history. In the West, from Roman times, scholarly lawyers led the development of jurisprudence. The establishment of universities in the Middle Ages also had an immediate relationship with law education. Jurisprudence provided the theoretical basis for the development of many Western cultures and civilizations. In the East, criminal jurisprudence different from that of the West has been developed and inherited. In addition, legal education was provided at the national level and in the private sector, and law education used ancient books based on litigation cases. In Korea, legal education in the modern sense was introduced only after the 1890s. In law schools and training centers for judges, Japanese law textbooks were used to create law school textbooks and educate students. A typical example is legal outline by Ju Jeong-gyun. After liberation, Korean jurisprudence developed by attempting to surpass Japanese jurisprudence. In particular, early jurists accepted German theories and attempted to adapt them to the Korean situation. Korean law courses, such as the history of Korean law, were also developed. Currently, jurisprudence in Korea no longer lags behind compared to other countries worldwide. The study of Roman law in Korea is at a level that surpasses the study of Roman law in other countries. However, the future of jurisprudence is not promising. Jurisprudence as a discipline is over, and it may not be long before it will cease to exist entirely. The primary reason for this is that the Department of Law was abolished when the law school system was introduced. A law school is an institution that trains legal practitioners while the College of Law is an institution that trains legal scholars. In that sense, it is necessary to find a systematic solution to combine the law school system with the College of Law.
