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

Abstract

Abstract:This thesis analyzes the reasoning behind judgments issued by first-level judges in Ecuador, with a specific focus on family law cases. Through a detailed study of a particular judgment, it examines how judges justify their decisions and how this reasoning impacts transparency, fairness, and the protection of the rights of the parties involved, especially those of minors. The study highlights the importance of judicial reasoning as a guarantee of due process and the correct application of the law. It also discusses the implications of the principle of the best interests of the child and its relationship to judicial decisions in cases involving minors. It concludes that adequate reasoning is not only crucial for the legitimacy of the judgment but also for trust in the judicial system.
