Motivación en las sentencias emitidas por los jueces de primer nivel en Ecuador.

Abstract

Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the importance of motivation in the context of judgments issued by judges in Ecuador. It begins with a conceptual study of motivation, conceiving it as a requirement of due process and the principle of legality. It also details the fundamental role of legal motivation and its classification, highlighting those that contribute to the validity of decisions, such as sufficient, logical, and coherent motivation. Furthermore, motivational flaws are identified, such as apparent motivation, incoherent motivation, etc., which affect the substantial validity of the judgment. Finally, we can see that the judgment analyzed provides adequate motivation, given that it was developed in a clear, concise, and concrete manner, and, above all, it met the aforementioned characteristics regarding motivation.
