A pesar de sus abundantes y numerosos recursos, America Latina se enfrenta al enorme reto de superar la ratio mas alta de desigualdad (Cimadamore & Cattani, 2008) y de exclusion social en el mundo (Kliksberg, 2005). En esta region, en la que la educacion, y en especial la educacion de mas alto nivel, estan solo al alcance de unos privilegiados, los abogados son de una relevancia crucial para modelar la sociedad y sus instituciones (Lista & Brigido, 2002). No obstante, hay un reconocimiento general de que la ensenanza tradicional no prepara a los abogados para hacer frente a esos retos (Pena Gonzalez, 2000). El presente articulo evaluara los esfuerzos para hacer frente a este problema, examinando algunos intentos de reformar la educacion juridica en America Latina. Para poder poner el estudio en contexto, sera necesario, en primer lugar, explorar las caracteristicas generales de la educacion juridica y de los sistemas universitarios en la region. A continuacion voy a esbozar las criticas recurrentes a la educacion juridica que han motivado las posibles reformas. En la segunda seccion de este articulo, me concentrare en siete facultades de Derecho de Brasil, Chile Argentina, Mexico, Colombia y Venezuela que son de reciente creacion o han intentado llevar a cabo grandes reformas, y cuyos planes de estudio ameritan un examen detallado dado su potencial innovador; por ultimo, presentare algunas ideas sobre lo que se necesita para mejorar la calidad de la educacion juridica en America Latina. ABSTRACT The Current State of Legal Education Reform in Latin America: A Critical Appraisal. Despite its rich and numerous resources, Latin America faces the huge challenge of overcoming the highest ratio of inequality (Cimadamore & Cattani, 2008) and social exclusion in the world (Kliksberg, 2005). In this region, where education, and especially higher education, is the privilege of a few, lawyers play a crucial role in shaping society and its institutions (Lista & Brigido, 2002). But there is general acknowledgment that traditional legal education leaves lawyers ill-suited to confront those challenges (Pena Gonzalez, 2000). This article will assess efforts to tackle this problem, examining efforts to reform legal education in Latin America. To put this scrutiny in context, it will be necessary, first, to explore the general characteristics of legal education in the region and of the larger university systems. I will next outline the recurrent criticisms of legal education that have motivated prospective reforms. In the second section of this article, I focus on seven law schools in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela that opened recently or have attempted major reforms. Their curricula demand detailed examination for their innovative potential, along with thoughts about what is needed to improve the quality of legal education in Latin America.
