Abstract

Law, as one of the oldest disciplines of humanity, faces its most important transformation in the last century around the realities of the new contexts to which the recognition of diversity as a characteristic of human communities gives rise. In this sense, this work seeks to present the “Practical Unit” proposal as an organizational element of the curriculum of the UNICATÓLICA Law program
and thereby develop the key elements for the transition from formalist education to active learning through clinical teaching, in Consequently, it will allow the integration of the substantive functions of higher education for the comprehensive training of future professionals in Law.
