ABSTRACT

This article explores the relationship between the quality of legal education in Colombia and the gender and socio-economic status of law students. This paper shows that women with low economic capital tend to be the most disadvantaged because they can neither afford the best private law programs nor pass the admission tests of the best public programs. By contrast, upper-class women are guaranteed access to high-quality education because they have the economic capital to enter the best private programs without having to overcome major academic filters. Given that most law students have limited economic resources, one could say that the feminization of legal education has been achieved at the expense of lower-class women who are forced to study in low-quality programs. In this regard, Colombian legal education reproduces gender and class inequalities instead of reducing them.

进入法学院的机会不平等:哥伦比亚的性别和阶级研究

摘要

本文探讨了哥伦比亚法律教育质量与法律学生的性别和社会经济地位之间的关系。本文表明妇女与低经济资本往往是最弱势的,因为他们既不能买得起最好的私人法律的程序,也没有经过最好的入学考试公共程式。相比之下,上流社会的女性可以保证获得高质量的教育,因为她们有经济资本进入最好的私人课程,而不必克服主要的学术过滤。鉴于大多数法学院学生的经济资源有限,可以说法学教育的女性化是以牺牲被迫学习低质量课程的下层女性为代价的。在这方面,哥伦比亚的法律教育再现了性别和阶级不平等,而不是减少它们。
