Interpretative Conventions as a Way of Horizontal Control of Judicial Decision
Abstract
In this work I intend to connect the philosophical discussion on the judicial practice of identifying the Law with the problem of how to control judicial activity. By control of judicial activity, I mean the verification of the legal correctness of the decisions on the existence and content of the Law taken by judges in their sentences. I will try to show that, in addition to forms of vertical control, there is the possibility of a type of horizontal control stemming from the conventional structure of judges’ collective action. The text will deal with two main issues: the elements of the conventional structure and how it may be able to control judicial activity.
