As part of the special Litigation that is taught in the master, the Constitutional Litigation intended to introduce the student to the study and practice of the mechanisms that allow us to urge the protection of the Constitutional Court in all its facets, but above all in those that can be used by lawyers, in particular, the "cuestión de inconstitucionalidad" and the "recurso de amparo".
