GOMES, Conceição. The Role of Judicial Training to the Justice Transformation. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2018, n.spe2018, pp.237-260. ISSN 2182-7435.  https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.7881.

Judicial training should be guided by the strategic objective of developing a judicial culture committed as much to the quality, efficiency and transparency of justice as to the democratic activism of the courts, be it in the promotion of human rights and fundamental rights or in combating serious crime, namely corruption. The key question is whether training models, either in law schools or via professional training, offer the potential to achieve this strategic purpose. As the preponderance of judicial training reflects a formalist and technocratic character, and discounts the relevance of inter-disciplinarity and innovations capable of improving this judicial culture, training policy should assume a central position within the strategic agenda dedicated to justice reform.

Palabras clave : courts; justice reform; legal culture; magistrates; professional training.
