What does a law student learn? If we consider the main characteristics of Chilean legal culture, we see that legalism is its central element, but focusing solely on it would cause us to overlook attitudes and convictions that fall outside its control in education. Therefore, to account for what lies outside the law, I propose a description of university legal culture, specifically that of the Law School at the University of Valparaíso, Chile. This culture was analyzed by one of its professors, the writer Carlos León, who, in his chronicles, shed light on it through the portrait of its founder, Professor and Director Victorio Pescio. Using his writings as a starting point, we can shape the legal culture that permeates this institution, where teaching, research, and outreach are its pillars.
