Abstract

The paper departs from the analytical premise that the current regulation of the judiciary in Chile establishes conditions that subject judges to the commanding power of the Supreme Court and to lesser extent of the appeal courts. Particularly important at the time of appointments and promotions, this affects the independence of judges in their judicial work. It is suggested that the government on the judiciary must be modified. It is proposed to incorporate into the Constitution a body with the characteristics of a Council of the Judiciary to administer the basic issues of the courts. With this purpose it is critically discussed how this kind of body has worked in different countries, namely Italy, Spain and Colombia.
