Description
En los últimos años se ha venido planteando en Colombia la necesidad de realizar una reforma de carácter legal sobre los consultorios jurídicos. Dentro de la baraja de opciones, tal vez la más posible es la de transformarse o fusionarse con las clínicas jurídicas. Incluso la Asociación de Facultades de Derecho (ACOFADE) viene promoviendo la transformación de las prácticas, sugiriendo la posibilidad de acabar con los consultorios, de tal manera que la reforma parece inminente. Es por esto que se considera necesario analizar y cuestionar la viabilidad de los mencionados cambios, reconstruyendo de manera crítica la historia conjunta de las dos instituciones para evitar cometer los defectos que estas han venido presentando. La investigación se realiza mediante el análisis de literatura especializada y de mi experiencia profesional como coordinador del área de Derecho Público del Consultorio Jurídico de la Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana. La conclusión defiende la existencia de los dos modelos de manera independiente, propugnando por una reivindicación de los consultorios jurídicos, por medio de un ejercicio autocrítico que les permita reconocer sus fallas históricas, otorgándoles un nuevo carácter emancipatorio y liberador de las ataduras impuestas por el Estado, las facultades de Derecho y la ley.
In recent years, the need to carry out a legal reform on legal services offices has been raised in Colombia. Among the range of possibilities proposed, perhaps the most feasible is to transform legal services offices or merge them with legal clinics. Even the Colombian Association of Law Faculties (ACOFADE) has been promoting the transformation of law internships, proposing the possibility of eliminating legal services offices, which shows that the reform is imminent. It is thus necessary to analyze and challenge the feasibility of the above mentioned changes, by critically reconstructing the history of both models in order to avoid making the mistakes they have made in the past. The research study was carried out by analyzing specialized literature and drawing on the author’s professional experience as a coordinator of the Public Law division of the legal services office of Pontificia Bolivariana university. The paper concludes by defending the existence of the two models independently, advocating for a vindication of legal services offices, through a self-critical exercise that allows them to recognize their historical failures, granting them a new emancipatory and liberating character of the constraints imposed by the State, faculties of law and the law itself.
