The Brazilian Federal Constitution establishes that universities must adopt the principle of inseparability between teaching, research and extension, the so-called University Tripod, which is essential for defining the role of these institutions in society. This principle seeks to broaden the impact of higher education, integrating theory and practice with a focus on collective improvement. Through an exploratory qualitative study, this project analyses university extension in the Law course of an institution in Ceará, using observation, structured interviews and field diaries. Ten participants (n = 10) were interviewed, including managers, teachers and students involved in extension activities. Although the flow of knowledge is mostly from the university to society, there is a need for a more dialogical relationship. For teachers, extension offers practical learning, but needs to encourage critical collaboration. The curricularization of extension is an epistemological change, and the research highlights the integration between research and extension, exemplified in action research.
