Abstract

A correlational statistical analysis was carried out in two university institutions of Cartagena of India’s, which allowed us to infer whether the educational entities envision the curricula of the Law program, the inquiry as a daily activity of students and professors and if they have socio-legal research center, with lines of research that place the development of investigative processes, with identity of managerial criteria, since it is the entity that designs and arranges the curriculum of this training program so that the lawyer who graduates, orients his daily legal practice in the investigative with the support of ICT. Surveys were applied to teachers of the law program, which allowed us to determine the strength of association or correlation between variables A and B through a population sample, to make inference to the formation of a lawyer, as well as a humanist, whose discipline be the socio-legal research so that, being a lawyer, you can devote yourself to observe, collect, select, describe, classify and analyse the elements that are in a social environment or space to frame it in the legal system with the support of legal computer systems. It was obtained as a result that (ICT) have evolved in a very fast way the daily life of teachers in the surveyed universities, since young teachers are not traumatized by the use of new technologies because they are daily familiar with computers, the internet and its communication tools, while teachers at the end of the century are considered digital illiterates.
