THE PIL – PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE LEGAL EDUCATION: AN ESSENTIAL DIALOGUE

Abstract

The article discusses the issue of Private International Law (PIL) in the context of Legal Education. It considers essential that the curriculum of undergraduate Law courses can open up more space for the offer of PIL content in consideration of the demands of the capitalist and global world that guide an increasingly participatory and active knowledge of the protagonist of Law. The issue of the article is the question: do undergraduate Law courses offer the PIL in their curriculum in order to make it possible to carry out justice? The method used consisted of literature review and empirical research, with curriculum analysis from four Law institutions. As a result, it was observed the need to reformulate curriculum matrices of the sample’s Law courses, so that the PIL has more space in the search for conflict resolution and access to justice although the Universidad Nacional del Litoral de Argentina had presented an appropriate curriculum for the study of the discipline.
