"Studying at UP is a privilege, both for the academic level and the high standards of its professors, as well as for the values it instils. The unforgettable memories of friendship and excellent professional relationships are some of the other benefits I gained from studying at this university, on the Mexico City and Guadalajara campuses.

Elías Estrada, class 93, Guadalajara campus. 

"Demonstrating how to be a successful professional and a person of integrity was what the law school taught me, because lawyers live by our prestige. UP offers human and professional resources to shape us into more well-rounded individuals and citizens who seek to improve the community.

Antonio Gloria, class of 2006, Guadalajara campus. 

"Knowing that law can be practised on many fronts - as an applicant lawyer, the judiciary, academia, corporate, research - was a lesson from UP; no matter how we do it, committed students have something to contribute to our society, acting ethically and seeking the good of others.

Eduardo Moel, class 93, Guadalajar campus

"I received an excellent professional and human education here. The UP provides an environment where not only information is received, but also training; the professors are vocationally committed to ensuring that students are quality professionals who are aware of their contribution to social service and the common good.

Gabriela García, class of 2016, Guadalajara campus. 

"I studied law several decades ago. Without realising it, the UP gave me a stamp that has stayed with me and that now, as a teacher, I try to pass on to my students: permanent professional self-demand, accompanied by a constant search for personal improvement in order to contribute something to society that adds up.

Gloria Castro, class 93, Guadalajara campus. 

"Studying law at Universidad Panamericana in Guadalajara was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. It has a high prestige due to the level of demand, personal and professional training, its professors and graduates. I highly recommend it.

Francisco de la Torre, class of '95, Guadalajara campus.
