Experience from the field: Ius et veritas and Prosode

Siempre fiel a la última hora, culminé mi ensayo de Rule of Law, Legal Reform and International Organizations tras una noche sin dormir. Tras varios años de incertidumbre, me dibuja una sonrisa tímida en el rostro el pensamiento-sentimiento de que en el área de la Educación yo encuentro una causa noble a la que me gustaría entregar toda mi vida. Aquí un par de extractos de uno de mis pocos insomnios productivos:

Truly, it is indispensable to find a rapidly solution that allows to recover -or to discover for the first time-, the trust in judicial institutions as the best way to resolve controversies. Nowadays, according to a survey conducted for APOYO[1], seventy per cent of the Peruvian population dismisses the labor of the Judicial Power. Under this common sensation of disappointment, I argue that any attempt of solution will not be satisfactory if it does not include an improvement on how the law is taught to the people, not only to students in law schools of the country, but also to regular citizens who suffer the inefficiencies of the damage system.
[1] The survey was realized in Lima, in December of 2006, and is available in http://www.elcomercioperu.com.pe/EdicionImpresa/Photo/pl-aprobacioninfo-101206.jpg.

Inside the Faculty of Law of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú many initiatives connected to the topic under analysis can be found. Different organizations, usually conformed by students, contribute in a small but important scale to the development of strategies against the problem of access to justice. Is a matter of hope, of juvenile rebelliousness against the pessimism that covers the majority of Peruvian population.
