📋 Tender Overview
For 30 years, the Secigra Derecho program, run by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights (MINJUSDH), has allowed young people from public and private universities in their last year of law school to have a first approach to service with State entities.
The testimonies of lawyers from all over the country, collected by the MINJUSDH, show the many advantages that this experience in the public sector offers to the participants. In many cases, it has been the beginning of a fruitful career in entities in the different entities of the justice system.
The participants of the Graduate Civil Service highlight that they not only learned and consolidated their knowledge in technical aspects of their profession, but also experienced the human side of Law. Likewise, they met professionals with similar concerns and with the same vocation for service, with whom they formed lasting bonds of friendship.
Karina Chávarry, who joined the National Human Rights Council of the Ministry of Human Rights in 2009, began her professional life in the program at a very young age. Fourteen years later, she is the acting director general of Criminological Affairs and director of Presidential Graces in this entity. "I learned about the reality of the penitentiary and the humanitarian work carried out by the team that evaluates presidential pardons," he says.

For her part, Mayte Gonzales, a secessionist at the Ministry of Economy (2022) notes: "They taught me and advised me. I had bosses who were great leaders and wonderful people as teammates."
