DUQUE QUINTERO, SANDRA PATRICIA; QUINTERO QUINTERO, MARTA LUCÍA  and  DUQUE, DERFREY ANTONIO. On a concept of Law popularization in higher education. Zona prox. [online]. 2014, n.21, pp.65-77. ISSN 2145-9444.

In this research paper the popularization of higher education law is conceptualized and founded. To achieve the overall objective of this research: to base the popularization of law in the university legal consulting, the study starts from the tenets of university teaching and critical pedagogy, which point out at the duty of a training related to social realities. Thus, from a qualitative study with a hermeneutic approach, carried out in three universities of Medellin (Colombia) it had the participation of 22 professors, 69 students of the Law Faculties, and 75 users of these universities legal consulting. We conclude that a university legal consulting office is the privileged place where students are in direct contact with law reality and problems. It also enables the formation of popularizer students aware of their role in society and the role that legal knowledge has regarding the solution of real problems of communities.

Keywords : university teaching; law; popularization; university legal consulting; citizenship.
