Los paradigmas jurídicos frente a la convergencia de otras ciencias en el quehacer judicial

Abstract

This article analyzes the need of every judge, especially those who work on the criminal area, breaking legal paradigms that prevent them from opening up their field of knowledge and understanding, beyond the strict legal world, so that they can pronounce with greater awareness and objectivity on the facts that are judged. The principle of iura novit curia establishes the fiction of a judge that is rational enough with the knowledge of the law to solve legal problems. However, it is clear that the judge needs to expand his epistemological horizons to evaluate eligibility and scope of the specialized test in other sciences.
