Resumen
RIVAS-ROBLEDO, Pablo. What Is Judicial Activism? Part I. Desiderata for a Definition of Judicial Activism. Díkaion [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.1, pp.70-92. Epub 16-Jun-2022. ISSN 0120-8942. https://doi.org/10.5294/dika.2022.31.1.4.
This writing is divided into two parts and, in a few words, is a work on the concept of judicial activism. Specifically, it defines judicial activism from a particular norms of competence theory formulated by Eugenio Bulygin, who explains norms of competence from the constituent rules. So, we propose that judicial activism is the intentional modification of competence by the judge through his decisions. It was necessary to divide the writing into two parts to reach this result. This article presents the first part, which summarizes the main theories on judicial activism and then assesses the theories on judicial activism from individual and general criticisms. Consequently, we propose the desiderata that a definition of judicial activism must meet.
