The prevarication of judges in the Ecuadorian legal system.

Abstract

Through this work, we intend to project an analysis of the crime of prevarication, concentrating on the actions that include the decisions of judges, since the content of articles 268 and 269 of the Organic Integral Penal Code also refer to the prevarication of arbitrators and lawyers. The object of study is mainly criminal law, however, historical and doctrinal background will be addressed to understand the scope of its typification, taking into consideration subjective and objective criteria, historical reality and political and social factors that influence the decisions made by judicial servants (judges) in the issuance of oral and written orders and judgments.
