| Summary: | In recent decades, a series of studies have demonstrated that lawyers present high suicide, alcoholism and divorce rates, even higher than those corresponding to other professionals. Law students and lawyers are now ranking highest in all of this statistics.It’s on that basis, and considering that the search for wellness is fundamental for every person’s health, the rapporteurs expose the relation between happiness and legal education nowadays, concluding that it is necessary to reconsider the way in which Lawis taught in today’s world. === En las últimas décadas, diversos estudios han demostrado que entre los abogados se presentan tasas de suicidio, alcoholismo y divorcio más altas que entre los profesionales deotras carreras. Así, abogados y estudiantes de Derecho han pasado a ocupar los primeros lugares en mediciones que relacionan el nivel de felicidad con el ejercicio de la profesión.Partiendo de ello, y de la premisa que la búsqueda del bienestar es fundamental para la salud de toda persona, los ponentes exponen la relación entre la felicidad y la educación legal hoy en día, concluyéndose que es necesario replantear la forma en la que se enseña Derecho en el mundo de hoy. |
