Aproximación a los géneros académicos y profesionales usados en el ámbito jurídico

Abstract

This paper provides an approach to the academic and professional genres of the legal field that are evident in a population of teachers and graduates of the law program of the Envigado University Institution. The paper is the product of a qualitative, hermeneutic-comprehensive research, based on the analysis of the results of the application of semi-structured surveys that contained closed and open questions. The results showed that, for teachers, the most used genres in teaching are doctrinal, jurisprudential, demands, codes and guardianship texts, while for graduates, the texts that they use the most in their professional practice, are those of regulations, jurisprudence, and laws. This allows concluding that there is a high degree of coincidence between the legal genres used in training and those of professional practice, to which it can be added that they are discursive genres that, in professional practice in addition to being part of the professional jargon and in professional practice, they are known, applied and can be critically exercised.
