Aplicación de técnicas de litigación oral dentro de la unidad de delitos flagrantes en la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

This thesis is a detailed study on the correct application of the oral litigation techniques used by lawyers and justice operators in the Unidad de Flagrancia de Pichincha in Quito. The interest in researching this topic comes from my work as a public attorney, observing permanent legal professionals who have a low technical level of oral litigation applied in the various hearings held over a criminal proceedings. Since we are in an adversarial criminal justice system, it is essential the implementation of orality in criminal proceedings in public and contradictory hearings, prioritizing the immediacy of the litigants and applying the principle of contradiction in oral hearings. A survey of various actors in the criminal trial was conducted to determine their knowledge regarding oral litigation techniques; also and an analysis of alternative solutions, pointing out their requirements, advantages and legal disadvantages. Finally, I examined the application of the techniques referred to in the trial hearing, which are the main tool to win the case.
