In 1989, Domingo was awarded tenure at University of Cantabria and promoted to associate professor's rank. Two years later, in 1993 Domingo was elevated to the rank of professor of law.

In 2011–12, Domingo served as Straus and Emile Noël joint Fellow at New York University (NYU) School of Law.

Domingo received honorary doctorates in law from the Inca Garcilaso University (2012) and the University of Saint Ignatius of Loyola (2016), both in Lima (Peru).

Global law, Roman law, and law and religion

Domingo believes that the dislocations of the worldwide economic crisis, the necessity of a system of global justice to address crime against humanity, and the notorious democratic deficit of international institutions highlight the need for an innovative and truly global legal system -one that permits humanity to reorder itself according to acknowledged global needs and evolving consciousness.

Domingo is a supporter of the Campaign for the Establishment of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly, an organization that advocates for democratic reformation of the United Nations.

In the field of Roman law, Domingo has analyzed the nature of the Roman concepts of ''auctoritas'' (moral authority) and ''potestas'' (constituted power).

In law and religion, Domingo has advocated for a theistic conception of the secular legal system that also includes and protects non-theistic approaches.
