CASTRO NAVARRO, David Ricardo; CENTURION LARREA, Angel Johel  and  CASTRO NAVARRO, María Alejandra. Job skills in university law graduates: A systematic review. Tribunal [online]. 2025, vol.5, n.13, pp.738-749.  Epub Oct 02, 2025. ISSN 2959-6513.  https://doi.org/10.59659/revistatribunal.v5i13.299.

The aim of the study was to analyze the scientific production published in the Scopus and Scielo databases between 2020 and 2025 on labor competencies in university law graduates. A systematic review was carried out under the guidelines of the PRISMA method, which made it possible to identify, select and synthesize the available evidence. The results revealed a notable scarcity of research focused specifically on the legal field, despite the extensive literature on job skills in other disciplines. The ten studies analyzed agree that the training of lawyers should transcend theoretical teaching, integrating ethical, cognitive, emotional and technological dimensions that strengthen employability and social commitment. It was also found that active methodologies, continuing education and pedagogical innovation are decisive factors for the development of competencies oriented to informed and ethical decision-making. Overall, the findings show the need for universities to restructure their programs towards competency-based educational models, capable of articulating technical excellence with moral integrity and social responsibility in the practice of law.
