This agreement will allow students to carry out professional internships in the parliamentary field of the Legislative Palace.
The lieutenant governor, Michael Acevedosigned an internship collaboration agreement with the Dean of the law School, María Cristina Grunauer de Falú. The main objective of this agreement is to create new educational spaces for training in Parliamentary Law for students studying Law, who will carry out their professional practices in the Legislature.
Also present at the signing ceremony were the economic and financial secretary, Stephen Nader; the vice dean Horacio Madkur; the Professor of Parliamentary Law, Sergio Diaz Ricci; the academic secretary, Gustavo Bellagamba; and the secretary of institutional management, Martin Rivas.
“Together with the Faculty of Law we gave viability to something that we have been supporting in the Legislature for some time, which is participation and plurality. On this occasion, within the Law degree, there is also the subject of Parliamentary Law and we want law students to be interested, coexist and be present where the work for which they are preparing is done,” said Acevedo.
Likewise, he highlighted that “this agreement benefits both entities,” and then explained: “We are going to layout the shifts for the students to work on the commissions, allowing them to gain nourishment from the internships, contributing experience and knowledge to their career, as well as to the Legislators.”
In this regard, the Dean explained that the agreement that has been signed refers to the Parliamentary Law internships that law students will have in the Legislature. “We teach advocacy and law taking into consideration that the professional skills that we have to develop in students are not only that of the trial lawyer or the lawyer who is going to join the Judiciary; We also consider that the training of the Doctor in Parliamentary Law is important, as advisors or possible legislators, because that is where the voice of the people is, where the laws that will govern the destinies of a province are formed.”
To finish, the Díaz Ricci noted: “This agreement is very important for several reasons. First, the Law School is where legal professionals are taught, and the Legislature is the body that produces legal norms for citizens. Secondly, it is important because it once again promotes the Institute of Parliamentary Law that was created 40 years ago here at the Faculty, precisely to encourage, promote and disseminate parliamentary culture.” Furthermore, Ricci indicated: “We are in Democracy and the body that expresses greater fidelity to democratic life, pluralism, debate and decision, is the Legislature,” he concluded.
