regulate conduct in society, establishing
rights and obligations. These rules are
created by authorities such as
legislatures and courts to maintain order
and justice. It is divided into areas such
as civil, criminal and labor law, and can
vary depending on the legal system of
each place.

lawyers earn above average due to the nature
of the work and their educational level.

generally cheaper than private universities, although with
greater competition for admission. In 2023, the semester
cost in public universities varies depending on the enrollment
scale, while in private universities it can range from 4 to 15
million Colombian pesos or more, depending on the prestige
of the institution. These values are approximate and may
change, and it is essential to consider additional expenses
such as books and materials. For accurate information and
financing options, it is best to consult directly with the
universities.

02 ¿WHAT SUBJECTS DO YOU NEED TO KNOW

TO STUDY LAW?
To study Law, it is essential to have knowledge in areas such as history, to
understand the development of legal systems; language and literature, to
improve reading, writing and analytical skills; philosophy, especially in ethics,
to substantiate the moral principles behind laws; and social sciences such as
sociology, psychology, and political science, which offer perspective on
human behavior and social structures. It is also helpful to have a basic
understanding of economics and basic mathematical skills for certain legal
specializations. Learning foreign languages benefits those who are interested
in international law or work in multilingual environments. Knowledge of
information technology is becoming increasingly relevant to modern legal
practice. Additionally, engaging in activities such as debating and volunteering
can improve practical and communication skills important for your career.

03 ¿WHY IS LAW IMPORTANT

IN COUNTRIES?
Law is essential in countries for its role in
maintaining order and stability through clear norms
and rules, protecting the fundamental rights of
citizens, providing a justice system to resolve
disputes equitably, boosting economic
development by ensuring a safe environment for
business, and regulate conduct to prevent harmful
actions. Its effective presence prevents chaos,
injustice and insecurity, being fundamental for the
well-being and progress of society.

04 ¿HOW DO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS AFFECT

INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY IN MODERN SOCIETY?
Intellectual property (IP) laws, including patents, copyrights, trademarks and
industrial designs, play a crucial role in both promoting and restricting
innovation and creativity in modern society. On the one hand, they encourage
investment in new creations by offering a period of exclusivity to recover
investments, protect these investments, facilitate technology transfer and
establish quality standards. On the other hand, they can limit access to
essential resources, create monopolies, discourage research and complicate
the development of new products due to the fragmentation of rights. To
maximize benefits and minimize harms, it is crucial to seek a balance that
promotes innovation and open access, possibly through legal reforms and open
access policies.
The patent on a new drug can incentivize a pharmaceutical company to invest
in its development, ensuring that it can recover its costs and make a profit.

¿WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A

JUDGE AND A LAWYER?

A lawyer is a legal professional who represents clients

in legal matters, while a judge is a public official
charged with presiding over courts and administering
justice. Lawyers provide legal advice, prepare cases,
and represent clients in legal proceedings, while
judges interpret and apply the law during trials and
hearings, making impartial decisions based on
evidence and the law.

¿WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A JUDGE AND A

LAWYER?
International law is a set of rules that regulate relations between States,
international organizations and in some cases, individuals. It arises from
treaties, international custom and judicial decisions. Its objective is to promote
peace, security, cooperation and protect human rights, regulating areas such as
trade, environment, war and security.

Its relevance lies in:

Globalization: Regulates transnational interactions such as trade and finance.

Peace and security: Establishes norms to resolve conflicts and regulate the use
of force.
Human Rights: Protects fundamental rights and promotes equality.
Environment: Addresses challenges such as climate change and promotes
sustainability.
International Trade: Regulates commercial relations between States and
protects intellectual property.
