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

Abstract

Abstract: This study analyzes the reasoning provided in the judgment issued by the multi-competent civil court located in El Guabo Canton, El Oro Province, regarding case file No. 07317-2025-00449. The objective is to analyze and evaluate whether the judgment s reasoning was both correct and sufficient. It is worth noting that this work is part of a broader research initiative by the UTPL Law Program, which focuses on reviewing and evaluating the reasoning in judgments issued by trial-level judges across the country. An analytical method was employed to assess the judgment's reasoning. The results were obtained through the application of questionnaires designed to evaluate the sufficiency and correctness of the reasoning; these results led to the conclusion that the analyzed judgment does indeed satisfy the requirement for proper judicial reasoning. Ultimately, the study concludes that analyzing and evaluating judicial reasoning helps law students establish a method for academically monitoring the activities performed by judges.
