Abstract

It presents the features and the design of the instrument called CODICE-Derecho, which measures the reading comprehension and the writing of students in the first academic year of Law degree. This instrument is specifically aimed to law students, as the selection of texts comes from specialized textbooks and journals in the area in order to fulfil the requirement of linking communication skills to discipline. In addition, main results in reading comprehension and writing of the 2011 cohort are presented and these results are interpreted in the light of the performance levels described for each section.
