About the program
Constitution, amparoand human rights
The program starts with the frame: constitutional law, international organizations and treaties, and the contemporary models that changed how a constitution is read. On top of that come human rights and their national and international protection mechanisms.
The amparo proceeding runs through three consecutive terms, alongside conventionality review and legal argumentation. Two research seminars close the program with work of your own.
