The Legal Studies and Options Service (SEDIJ)
Presentation
The Legal Studies and Options Service, created by agreement of the Government Board as a laboratory of service delivery (LPS), is located in the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Law and is comprised of full-time professors from the departments of Private Law, Political Science and Public Law and Public Law and Legal History Studies.
Its function is to promote and transfer knowledge from the University to society and, more specifically, from the faculty of the Faculty to lawyers and other legal professionals and to the public and private organizations that require their services.
To carry out this function, the SEDIJ provides users with contact with the most suitable specialists to perform the requested services and a permanent communication channel between them.
In addition, the SEDIJ contributes to satisfying university social responsibility (RSU) by the promotion of non-profit legal reports and opinions, in matters of social importance (pro bono) and with the special participation of students.
The SEDIJ has the material and human resources of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona to carry out its objectives. According to the QS WUR 2018 Ranking, as the 1st in Spain; and according to the QS Top 50 under 2018, 2nd in Spain, 5th in Europe. Regarding the aforementioned resources, we must highlight the network of institutional and professional relationships both in Spain and abroad, which facilitates optimal collaboration between our teaching staff and experts from other countries and fields of knowledge.
The quality guarantee of the services offered through the SEDIJ is guaranteed by the academic and professional career of its members, by the numerous official recognition of their teaching and research merits (teaching and research sections and national and autonomous accreditations) and by previous experience in the field of the respective specialities.

The function of transferring knowledge from the University to society is developed through the provision by the professors of the following services:
- Elaboration of technical and legal reports for lawyers, companies and institutions.
- Elaboration of reports on draft laws.
- Reports on Spanish law for foreigners and on foreign law for Spaniards.
- Report on European Union Law.
- Development of lines of applied research in the requested subjects.
- Criminological and foreign law expert’s report services
Next, we indicate the professors who provide their services through the SEDIJ. When the request is directed to a specialist chosen by the user, the SEDIJ transmits it directly to him. Also, when the user has no prior preference and requests the advice of the SEDIJ, the SEDIJ provides him with the necessary information so that he can select the most suitable expert, both in terms of the field of knowledge involved and the experience required to develop the services satisfactorily.
Depending on the nature and characteristics of the service requested, the SEDIJ can facilitate the formation of multidisciplinary work teams, of particular interest to professionals who carry out their work within the framework of organisations of small dimensions or highly specialized in a single discipline.
