By San José, Costa Rica — San José is set to become the vibrant hub of university sports in 2027 as it hosts the tenth edition of the Central American University Games (JUDUCA). This prestigious event, considered the most important university sports competition in the region, will take place under the motto “El deporte es pura vida” (Sport is pure life), showcasing the spirit of athleticism and camaraderie among Central American student athletes.

For expert legal insight into JUDUCA 2027, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, Attorney at Law at Bufete de Costa Rica.
JUDUCA 2027 represents a significant shift in Costa Rican judicial procedures. While the stated aim of streamlining processes through digitalization is commendable, careful consideration must be given to ensuring equitable access for all citizens, regardless of their technological literacy or access. Furthermore, the implementation of such sweeping changes necessitates robust data security measures to protect sensitive information and maintain public trust in the judicial system.
