Law Program
Law is one of the noblest and most satisfying careers you can study, since those of us who practice it are moved by universal values such as truth, justice, freedom and service to others. At Universidad Panamericana we train jurists capable of responding to current problems from solid anthropological, ethical and iusphilosophical bases, we prepare and specialize our students in a modern, international and technologized law, combining theory with practice through the case method. Our motto is to train "good good lawyers" because we seek to educate human beings and professionals who are socially committed and highly qualified to materialize justice in every case that comes their way, both in the public and private sectors, whether in Mexico or abroad.
