“After enrolling in Law at UCP, the best decision I made was, without a doubt, accepting the challenge to join the ADN Jurista Programme.
The difference between who I was in first year and who I am now, in third year, is striking, especially thanks to the competences I’ve learned and refined across the programme’s modules.
Beyond the core courses, the one-to-one sessions were invaluable: they helped me explore different perspectives, defend my opinions more clearly, and understand why others might hold opposing views, which sometimes even made me question my own.
Nothing to add but this: a phenomenal programme that truly rewards every extra effort.”

“The programme is demanding, but it is undeniably worthwhile.
Its courses help us refine posture and writing, improve public speaking, and, above all, strengthen our ability to seek reliable information and think critically.”

“The ADN Jurista helped me grow into a more complete legal professional, one who understands theory and doctrine, but also knows how to communicate, reason and argue effectively.
The entire curriculum helped me overcome the challenges I faced at the early stage of my degree.
My competences in public speaking and argumentation improved exponentially, and for that, I owe a great deal to the ADN.”

“When I joined Universidade Católica, I felt the need to fill certain academic gaps.
The ADN Jurista arose from that curiosity, a bold, diverse and thought-provoking programme.
Confident that its goals are met, I can say the ADN challenges us to stand out, to pay closer attention, and to remember that a jurist must be much more than memorised doctrine.”

“I would describe the ADN Jurista as an innovative and distinctive programme, unlike any other I’ve experienced.
From strengthening my argumentation to developing my oral and legal writing competences, it constantly pushed me out of my comfort zone.
Those challenges gave me the essential tools of any jurist: critical thinking, pragmatism and confidence in decision-making.
It made me a more complete person, professionally and personally.”

“The ADN Jurista is both demanding and transformative.
Through premium sessions, workshops and personal mentoring, I became aware of my weaknesses and grew as a future jurist.
I learned that the legal world demands far more than theory and practice.
It showed me that our attitude, reasoning, diction, writing and sensitivity define who we are, and how far we can go.
I wholeheartedly recommend every Law student to join the programme. You will not regret it.”

“Taking part in the ADN Jurista Programme was an incredibly enriching experience.
I developed new competences in argumentation, critical thinking, communication and negotiation, and, above all, I realised that a Law degree alone is not enough without these complementary competences.
One highlight was the ADN Jurista Bootcamp, where, for a day, we stepped into the role of lawyers and worked on a real case in a law firm, applying what we had learned and gaining invaluable insight from experienced professionals.
It was a unique opportunity I would never have had otherwise.”
