| Sumario: | Undergraduate Law programs in Argentina are undergoing a mandatory process of accreditation. The Ministry of Education has recently issued regulations and standards for quality control, which all law schools have to abide by. While Argentine authorities follow the procedure generally used in states with a long history of university program reviews, the regulations fail to require some issues which are essential for assuring quality student learning, such as failure to demand professors to have Ph.D.s, failure to demand law schools to hire full-time faculty, and failure to mandate an outcome-based curriculum. The standards do have some very positive aspects. These include a conception of Law as both a professional discipline and as an independent Social Science discipline. Additionally, the standards give student research a preponderant role that goes across the whole curriculum. The standards also mandate law schools to prepare students for legal practice, which is conceived of in very broad terms and is in no way limited to preparation to litigate before the courts. |
