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

Abstract

Abstract: This paper analyzes case file No. 11282-2022-00818G, brought against N.N. for the crime of practicing a profession without a license, focusing on the correct application of the abbreviated procedure in accordance with the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code (COIP). It examines the acceptance of the specific sentence, the legal limits for its reduction, the appropriate procedural moment for submitting the request, and the judge's authority to certify or deny agreements. This research was based on a documentary and judicial analysis, creating a contrast between legal theory and judicial practice and studying how the fundamental rights of the accused are protected. Furthermore, opportunities and difficulties in the study were identified, such as access to the judgment and the interpretation of legal exclusions, aspects that opened the possibility for a deeper understanding of the analyzed procedure. This work demonstrates the relevance of the abbreviated procedure to guarantee speed, proportionality, and efficiency in criminal justice, thus strengthening academic training and offering a practical example of how the regulations are applied to real cases in Ecuador.
