The plots of Billy Budd and The Bonfire of the Vanities are organized entirely around a lawsuit. In The Pickwick Papers the trial is only a part, though an important one, of a series of related adventures in which the main characters of the novel participate. In the three novels there is a trial in which the accused is found guilty, although he is actually innocent. In The Posthumous Papers of the Club Pickwick, the author’s main purpose is to present the operation of the legal system, in which the modus operandi of unscrupulous lawyers, who rely only on cheating and deceiving methods, is atthe beginning of and determines the outcome of the lawsuit. In Billy Budd, an innocent is sentenced to death in order to preserve a supposed higher interest: the common good. In The Bonfire of the Vanities, political factors, personal interests, resentments and other worldly elements determine the o...

While most of the Law and Literature books and articles stress from the beginning the distinction between Law in Literature and Law as Literature, my approach is from the standpoint of Law teaching. A course on Law and Literature will help the students not only to write better, but it may convey the students facts that surround the work of the formal legal systemas the human condition or the legal culture, as well as a legal perspective thatis, so to speak, engraved in the human mind. The so-called didactic school is treated and criticized. The distinction between Law in Literature and Law as Literature cuts across the whole work.

Desde la finalización de la Segunda Guerra Mundial ocurrieron una serie de acontecimientos en el mundo y en el Perú que transformaron por completo la economía, la política, la ciencia y la cultura. Sin embargo, la formación de los abogados y todo el trabajo de las facultades de Derecho permanecían anclados en el pasado. Desde mediados de la década del cincuenta, y muy especialmente en la década del sesenta, las facultades de Derecho se sacudieron del letargo en que vivían y empezó un proceso de reformas que alcanzó su pico entre 1968 y la década siguiente.

This paper is about the social responsibility in the lawyers’ education. The author begins talking of the classic university paradigm, where one of the traditional activities of the university is the social projection, which is the contribution of the university to improve the society. On the same subject, having the business vision as a reference, he mentions that the university social responsibility has been adopted from a transversal approach by the university as a way to integrate it into society.

That idea caused radical ways of action, but, in turn, emerged groups focused on social assistance as a way to contribute to society.

The Brothers Karamazov was the last novel of Dostoievski and for that reason is in way a sort of synthesis of his thinking. In the article there is a brief development of some key ideas as these: in matter of guilt, the attitude has more importance than action; everyone is guilty of everything before the eyes of everyone (universal guilt); suffering purifies the individual and acts as a remedy that promotes his spiritual elevation; freewill is central in human existence. But the novel is also a novel about a crime. Somebody is murdered and the readers will discover the perpetrator at the very end. 25% of the novel is devoted to technical legal matters: the instruction of the summary and the court trial. But what is most interesting is that an innocent is found guilty, because law had no other choice having into account the facts that are backed by ...

The aim of this article is to reflect on the methodology of legal research in Latin America. In this context, the author criticizes the traditional legal research, which has focused, especially, on the normative comparison, and not on the social reality and the purpose of the Law with the social change. Due to this, a type of dynamic legal research is proposed that analyzes the different legal manifestations with the support of interdisciplinarity, such as social sciences. For this, the author points out, it is necessary to stop conceiving the Law as an isolated phenomenon, and start to understand it as part of society; likewise, it must be valued as a tool at the service of the community. In this regard, it is important that the new legal research reflects an instrumental end that allows the Law to be a means that links to the social reality and allows social change.

This paper analyzes the lawyer's profession through a sociological approach and different researches that have been carried out on the subject. In this way, the author addresses issues related to the description, organization and division of the profession, morale, the professional income of lawyers, the economic power of clients, the position within the profession, among other aspects. However, the article concludes by pointing out that lawyers have a role of social control, through which they can redirect, or not, the expectations of clients and the social interest in accordance with the law.
