La teaching methodology The Master's Degree in Intellectual Property is eminently practical and participatory, with the use of case method.
If you are looking build learning on the participants' experienceThis approach allows participants to learn from both the previously provided material and their own perspectives, and to defend their analysis. The aim is to develop a synthesis of the opinions of the professionals attending the course and, naturally, those of the instructor, who leads the class.
Teachers seek to involve as many participants as possible in the development of the class, transforming it into a debate of diverse opinions and in the search for a solution to the case.They also moderate participation, giving the floor to participants, guiding their intervention, asking questions, organizing comments, and contributing their experience and points of view on the matter.
The classes end with a systematization of the conclusions reached during the studyeven though these may be diverse and contradictory, and where appropriate, with the appropriate conceptual specification of the topic discussed.
To make the most of classes and academic time, students need to read and study the material and cases provided beforehand.
The Faculty has been pioneer in Argentina and throughout the Spanish-speaking world in the use of active and participatory teaching methodsand especially the case method, both at the postgraduate level, where it began to use them in the area of Continental Law, and where they are applied in two-thirds of the classes, and at the undergraduate level, where it is one of the few Latin institutions that uses them intensively.
In light of the above, its faculty employs various versions of the Socratic method in legal education. Specifically, the case method utilizes a multitude of pedagogical variations, starting from a common trunk that the Faculty itself developed and adapted to Continental Law based on the pedagogical methodologies used in American Law Schools and Business Schools.
In this way, all educational activities of the Faculty strive to put into practice the three principles postulated by Christopher C. Langdell, the Dean who revolutionized Harvard Law School and the entire American legal education system, when in 1870 he began teaching using the case method:
1) that the student's efforts are parallel to those of the teacher;
2) that the study be designed in such a way as to obtain the greatest and most lasting benefits; and
3) that the classes are in such a way that it is better for the student to attend than to stay at home reading a textbook.
In light of the foregoing, and assuming as an indispensable basis a deep understanding of the theoretical aspects and the normative structure of the various legal institutions, The case method consists of analyzing judicial decisions and hypothetical situational cases, evaluating the different alternative solutions presented, and making decisions about the best course of action..
Therefore, the Faculty's legal teaching places strong emphasis on To train students in legal reasoning, researching sources to make decisions, and in the writing and expression skills of their arguments and ideas.
The case study methodology is demanding for both students and teachers.To make the most of classes and academic time, students need to read and study the assigned materials and cases beforehand. For professors, the case method is demanding, requiring careful preparation of the materials and cases, as well as active participation in the class.
In postgraduate studies, the usual way of doing this begins with the professor presenting and discussing with the students the fundamental theoretical guidelines of the legal institution under analysis, which they have all previously studied from the materials. The doctrine is addressed, but not "theoretically", but through critical analysis, seeking foundations, reasons, applications, strengths, weaknesses, and needs for evolution...
After studying the material, one moves on to case method, which occupies two-thirds of the sessiondedicated to each topic. In the same The aim is to build learning on the knowledge and experience of the participantsso that they are allowed to learn both from the material previously provided and from the viewpoints of other students, and not only from the contribution that the teacher can make, as in the lecture system.
Following the Roman idea that law arises from facts, The method demands that, given a specific factual situation, one investigates the principles that underpin appropriate solutions. to the same, critically analyzing them to see which ones respond to what the circumstances need.
The debate on specific applications of the law and on concrete facts that require a solution also leads to The involvement of everyone with the institutions under analysis is crucial. This is because the whole person, with their intelligence and emotions, is involved, leading to a better understanding of the principles of law. When seeing them in operation, do not forget the elements that have been analyzed and debated.
The case study typically consists of a court ruling or a situational narrative, usually based on real facts and circumstances. Other variations of the method include film clips, actual lawsuits and responses, out-of-court counseling scenarios, and so on.
Sometimes professors provide a whole catalog of preliminary questions for case analysis, and at other times they discuss it directly, leaving the student to face the problem alone, without previously outlined paths.
The case analysis is first carried out in small groups of five to eight people, and then discussed in a plenary session of the entire class., dedicating approximately one hour to team discussions and one and a half hours to joint debate.
Teamwork is essential in the adaptation of the Anglo-Saxon case method carried out in the Faculty, since it allows exponentially multiplying the participation of everyone, and enriching itself enormously with the views of others, creating the habit of cooperative work, so necessary in the world of legal professions.
Both in teamwork and in the discussion session with the whole class, the teachers seekto involve as many participants as possible in the development of the teaching, transforming it, through questions, into a debate of diverse opinions on the factual and legal aspects of the situation under study and training them in the search for the best solution to the case.
The educational methodology is based on studying the theory in order to apply it to real-world cases. develops in postgraduate students. This produces that a deep-rooted critical legal mindset be instilled in them, leading them to analyze with scientific rigor and depth and to naturally resolve a multitude of complex legal problems.
The case method, understood in this way, has proven to be a An exceptional tool in practical training as a training tool in legal reasoning and argumentationYes, and it has been applied with excellent results within the Faculty For almost twenty years, both at the postgraduate level, in our Master's and Specialization programs, and at the undergraduate level, in our Law degree program.
Therefore, as all those who have done so can attest, having studied Law at the Universidad Austral es a unique and unforgettable experience, which leaves a profound mark and transforms, renewing and modifying the ways of approaching the legal phenomenon and professional activity.
Some of the outstanding skills that graduate students acquire at the Faculty through the constant application of analysis, group discussion, and decision-making inherent in the case method are the following:
Therefore, it is a source of pride that, after this training in legal thinking and mentality, almost all undergraduate and postgraduate graduates They have managed to position themselves as expert lawyers in the areas of law they have chosen..
Indeed, as a logical result of the remarkable theoretical and practical training provided to students, the Faculty constantly receives job offers from law firms, companies, and public sector institutions.
Thus, they find themselves working in the country's leading studies, both in Buenos Aires and in the main capitals of the interior, in law firms and in important national and multinational companies and in relevant positions in the public administration and the judiciary, or abroad, usually in international law firms.
Through the personalized academic advising system, a smooth relationship with professors is guaranteed. Each participant is assigned a professor with whom they meet regularly to discuss their academic and professional progress. In these meetings, professional and personal matters that affect academic performance often arise and are addressed appropriately.
Furthermore, the personal advisor's opinion on the student's abilities and potential is crucial when analyzing candidates to meet the demands for qualified lawyers in our programs, which are frequently submitted to us by companies, law firms, and other institutions.
For this reason, personalized academic advising of students is an important aspect of the educational function carried out in our Faculty. The objective is to help students in every way that can contribute to improving their academic performance and their participation in university life.
