Abstract

The World Bank’s proposal to reform the judicial branch in Latin America includes the approval of a set of values: feasibility, fast decisions, low cost, efficiency, protection of private property and contracts. This study hypothesis is that in the declared function to extend the population’s access to a more agile justice, capable of assure universal legal goods, it inhabits a real function of selective legal goods protection, unequal application of laws and illusion to promote legal security, reaffirming a model of Justice that exists for more than two centuries.
