Abstract

The restructuring of the judicial career is proposed, in order to ensure that judicial decisions are made in accordance with the law, thereby assuring that the judicial decision making process embodies the ethical duties of the judicial function. The model demands the supersession of the current biunivocal relation between categories and positions in favor of a univocal relation (not reciprocal) between the judicial structure, on the one hand, and the administrative, on the other. To that end, an exclusive career system for judges is presented, organized by category and constitutive of a regime of professionalization. In this system, access to and continuance in a category depends on professional training and accountability subsystems -the latter organized around an ethical core-, with performance evaluations and disciplinary responses as a last resort.
