Resumen

En EEUU, los jueces de las cortes estatales suelen recibir poca o nula formación especializada antes de asumir sus deberes. Durante el pasado medio siglo, han emergido sistemas formales estatales de educación judicial como solución a aquel problema, y se ha proporcionado cierto nivel de formación a los jueces titulares de la mayoría de las jurisdicciones. A pesar de esos avances, algunos expertos han criticado la formación judicial hasta la fecha, y han reclamado una nueva ola de reformas. Un estudio reciente ha analizado las percepciones de los jueces sobre tipos de conocimiento, aptitudes, habilidades y otras características importantes para el trabajo judicial en las cortes estatales. Los jueces reconocieron la emoción y las aptitudes interpersonales como componentes críticos de la excelencia judicial (Elek et al. 2017). Este artículo examinará algunas directrices dadas por los jueces estatales, y tomará en consideración oportunidades para satisfacer mejor las necesidades judiciales.
