Summary: The objective of this article is to evaluate the conditions in which the teaching of Law is carried out in a Mexican public university in order to generate a set of recommendations to promote a legal pedagogy with a gender perspective. The study consisted in a qualitative evaluation with a documentary analysis based on the reference framework proposed bythe Councilforthe Accreditation of Teachingin Law in Mexico, which is composed of ten categories and 44 indicators; the exercise was developed from the review of institutional documents and research articles produced on the teaching of Law with a gender perspective. It is concluded that, in the case under study, Law education is carried out under adequate academic, curricular, training, financial and infrastructure conditions; however, the absence of a gender perspective in the training of legal professionals can contribute to the reproduction of a discriminatory and sexist professional practice that naturalizes corruptionand impunity. In this sense, a set of recommendations is proposed to move towards a legal pedagogy with a gender perspective, which translates into antidiscriminatory and fair legal practices. Finally, the responsibility of both university authorities and teachers to promote a teaching of equal and non-sexist Law is alluded to. Thus, transforming the teaching of Law into a legal pedagogy sensitive to gender is a shared accountability.
