Abstract
Venezuela is immersed in a complex humanitarian emergency, with systematic violations of human rights and a serious economic crisis. This context cannot fail to have an impact on law studies. This paper refers to these effects, analyzing the situation in the Law School of the Universidad Metropolitana de Caracas (Metropolitan University of Caracas). In the body of the work, the institution will be described first; then, the operation of teaching-learning; and, thirdly, the research that is carried out in it. In the conclusion, a balance of what has been achieved will be made, especially focused on the activity of its graduates, analyzing what it means to study law in an authoritarian
context, with serious democratic, economic and social dysfunctions. The achievements of legal education at U. Metropolitana are valued when one takes into
account that the difficulties have been enormous, that professors and students have been forced to migrate, dramatically reducing the faculty and student body, with budgetary restrictions that have impoverished the library and limited resources available to support research, etc.
