This study evaluates an institutional model of vertical integration for digital competencies in legal education. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research objective is to analyse how sequencing technical literacy across three educational cycles (CTeSP, Bachelor’s, and Master’s) addresses curricular saturation. Results show that the model effectively institutionalizes interdisciplinarity, requiring 100% of master’s theses to integrate both legal and technical dimensions.
