ENGLISH VERSION

Ph. D. in Philosophy of Law. I was born in October 1982 in the city of Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico. I studied Law at the University of Guanajuato (2005). While studying my university degree I coordinated the Student’s Circle in Constitutional Law (2002-2005) and the “Mexico facing the challenges of Constitutionalism and Democracy” seminar (2005). My dissertation, The Horizontal Effect of Constitutional Rights, obtained the qualification of “laureated work” (2006). I received a Master degree in Advanced Studies in Human Rights from the University Carlos III of Madrid (2009) as well as a Diploma in Political Science and Constitutional Law from the Centre of Political and Constitutional Studies (2010). Regarding my academic background, I attended several post-graduate and specialization courses, to name but a few: “Seminar in Public Administration” at the University of Texas, Dallas, USA (2005); “The Leadership in Political Market and Public Administration”, at the University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain (2008); “Detention and International Human Rights Law” at the ‘Institut International des Droits de l’Homme’, Strasbourg, France (2009); “Summer Law School on Law and Logic" at the European University Institute, Florence, Italy (2013); "Legislative Drafting and Language" at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, London, UK. Several articles, working papers and book reviews I wrote have been published in collective works and in scientific magazines in Mexico and in Spain. I have been guest speaker in public and private universities as well as in other academic institutions.

In respect of my professional sphere, I was enrolled as a legal practitioner in the House of Representatives of Guanajuato (2002-2005) and as a legal assistant at the Professional Service of the Electoral Institute of Guanajuato (2003). Moreover, I worked at the Institute of Administrative Justice, academic body of the Administrative Court of Guanajuato, where I taught short courses on Legal Theory and Legal Research Methods. I also took part in several committees on the occasion of national and international conferences organized by the abovementioned Court. I contributed to the development and implementation of courses and workshops on Administrative Law and legal training alike. I collaborated with the editor of the journal Administrative Justice Today, (2005-2007), not to mention other institutional publications I worked with.

My Ph. D. dissertation title was: Legalism and Constitutionalism. Guidelines for a Reconstruction of the Rule of Law and the Rule of Constitution, at the Institute of Human Rights “Bartolome de las Casas” (University Carlos III of Madrid). My research interests include moral and political philosophy, legal theory, constitutional rights and legal interpretation.
