About the Journal

OMNIA. Derecho y sociedad is the scientific journal of the Faculty of Legal Sciences of the Universidad Católica de Salta, Argentina, created in 2018 and published under the imprint EUCASA (Ediciones Universidad Católica de Salta)



Objectives and scope

It is an semiannual publication that gathers collaborations on legal, political and social sciences issues.

Secondly, it seeks to cover the widest range of topics of interest to the journal. The denomination, Derecho y sociedad (Law and society), defines a disciplinary content that is specific of the social sciences.

This publication has been created with the purpose of promoting the dissemination of the knowledge generated in the Faculty of Legal Sciences as a product of its substantive functions of research, teaching and extension, as well as favoring the construction of bonds with other national and international institutions.
