The study examines gender differences in the perceptions of writing and research skills among Law students from two regional universities in Chile. Using a pre-experimental pretest-posttest design with thirty eight participants, students' self-assessments were measured within the framework of specific legal research courses. The results indicate that, although there are improvements in research skills, showing significant differences, these are not observed in writing skills. Additionally, women tend to self-assess lower than men at both points. The gender differences are consistent with the literature on gender gaps in academia, in Law faculties, as well as among Law students. The data highlight the importance of integrating a gender perspective into legal education to address these gaps.
