A análise dos egressos do curso de direito do Centro Universitário Estácio Ceará (Grupo Yduqs) no exame de ordem entre os anos de 2015 e 2022: expansão do acesso ou inclusão ilusória?

Abstract

This thesis analyzes the Law School courses expansion in Brazil. It focuses especially on the amount of open spots by Centro Universitário Estácio do Ceará – Yduqs/B3/Brasil. This expansion is a result of the context of neoliberal rationale and Private Higher Education Institutions financialization.The following questions serve as starting points: which are the normative and cognitive frameworks that lead to the Law School courses expansion within private-mercantile Higher Education Institutions, specifically within the Yduqs/B3/Brasil group in Ceará? What is the egress’ profile from these courses and what are the results achieved in the Brazilian Bar Exam between 2015 and 2022? This thesis offers the hypothesis that the Law School courses offered by Centro Universitário Estácio do Ceará – Yduqs/B3/Brasil do not prepare its graduates to the approval in the Bar exam, becoming an illusory inclusion, since when they graduate, the graduates do not have access to the private practice career due to the low approval rate in the Bar Exam. The general objective is to analyze the normative and cognitive framework of the private-mercantile (Centro Universitário Estácio do Ceará – Yduqs/B3/Brasil) higher education expansion policies; as well as the Law School egress access to the private advocacy between 2015 and 2022. The methodological approach is guided by the critical-dialectic episteme from the gramscian concept of amplified State, political society, civilian society, Private Apparatuses of Business Hegemony (GRAMSCI, 2017a; 2017b), towards the Public Policies Cognitive Approaches. The theoretical framework draws from Muller, Surel (2002), Dardot (2016) and Bretas (2020). The thesis is divided in six chapters: i) introductory-methodological chapter presenting the rationale, form, and episteme; ii) the neoliberal rationale and the role of the State; iii) the cognitive framework of neoliberal governance and the normative framework as a product: the higher education cooptation to market logic; iv) the private-mercantile educational sector’s normative and cognitive frameworks to legal education in Ceara; v) the relationship between Centro Universitário Estácio do Ceará’s Law School Campus and the Bar exam – 2015/2022, and vi) the illusory inclusion foundation as the future’s expropriation of the search for professionalization in the Law School area to Estácio Ceará’s Law School graduates. Upon analyzing the Law School graduates from Centro Universitário Estácio do Ceará in the results of 21 Bar exams, from 2015 to 2022, it is possible to conclude that the Law School educational process of that institution does not offer its graduates competencies and abilities to the Bar exam approval. Their graduates are below the already low national standard. The proportion of almost one approved for five registered in the Bar Exam shows that, as promised by the institution, they develop the skills necessary for professional practice, articulating knowledge based on principles, doctrine, the current legal system and jurisprudence, [... ] Finally, the project aims to create opportunities to practice the profession, which appears not to be being fulfilled, as trainees do not even pass the exam for admission to private legal activity.
