Download or read book T cnicas de litigaci n oral y argumentaci n en juicio written by Frank Almanza and published by Ediciones Olejnik. This book was released on 2023-11-09 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En el estudio de las técnicas básicas de litigación oral, en las diferentes etapas de su aplicación vamos a encontrarnos con reglas, pautas o criterios, ya sean establecidos por el propio Código Procesal o por la necesidad de cumplir con una estrategia predeterminada. Sea en uno u otro caso, estos criterios deben cumplirse para poder desarrollar de la mejor manera cada una de las etapas propias de la litigación oral; desde un buen alegato de apertura, hasta un buen contrainterrogatorio, por ejemplo. En el contexto de la aplicación del nuevo Código Procesal Penal, la aplicación de la teoría del caso debe de ser una de las labores más importantes que puede realizarse. A lo largo del juicio oral, ninguna decisión a tomarse se puede hacer de forma inteligente a menos que se tenga una idea clara de las fortalezas y debilidades de su caso. Por lo tanto, el desarrollo de una teoría viable es el primer paso para llevar a cabo un juicio exitoso. Recuerde que un juicio no es una presentación de cada hecho y cada argumento legal remotamente posible; el juicio es un conjunto de versiones de lo que ha ocurrido; es decir, cada parte llega a juicio con una historia que contar, con una propuesta hecha al juez de cómo es que pudieron llevarse a cabo los hechos que en el proceso intenta dilucidar. Así, el ganador será aquel que mejor cuente su historia de los hechos y logre convencer al juez de que esa es la versión correcta. Y para que el juez crea mi versión de los hechos, esta tiene que tener, sobre todas las cosas, una característica muy puntual: «Consistencia». La consistencia de nuestra posición será el resultado de un trabajo estratégico y anterior a la audiencia; la improvisación o confianza en la intuición, en ninguna instancia darán buenos resultados. El nuevo proceso al ser un proceso audaz, oral y contradictorio, hará fracasar a aquella parte que pretenda inventar o improvisar en alguna audiencia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Si la política fue definida alguna vez como el arte y la ciencia de gobernar, la litigación también puede ser definida en ese sentido; esto es, como el arte y la ciencia de litigar en un proceso o causa judicial. Eso es efectivamente la litigación oral en estos días. Su importancia resulta trascendental en momentos de cambio o tránsito de modelo procesal penal; esto es, en lo específico, del modelo inquisitivo mixto al modelo acusatorio garantista (llamado también acusatorio adversarial). No siendo la litigación oral precisamente un concurso de oratoria ni algo por el estilo, el nuevo sistema procesal penal, anclado en la publicidad y oralidad correspondiente, requiere de una técnica, como es concretamente la litigación oral, la misma que sin la publicidad del caso no tiene mucho sentido que digamos, pues un sistema oral cerrado en la privacidad del sumario no se diferencia mucho del sistema escrito, al cambiarse tan sólo de medio y no así de finalidad. En esa medida, el sistema procesal le da sentido a la litigación oral si y sólo si se garantiza la publicidad dentro de dicho sistema". Iván Pedro Guevara Vásquez.

Download or read book The Trial written by Sadakat Kadri and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as long as accuser and accused have faced each other in public, criminal trials have been establishing far more than who did what to whom–and in this fascinating book, Sadakat Kadri surveys four thousand years of courtroom drama. A brilliantly engaging writer, Kadri journeys from the silence of ancient Egypt’s Hall of the Dead to the clamor of twenty-first-century Hollywood to show how emotion and fear have inspired Western notions of justice–and the extent to which they still riddle its trials today. He explains, for example, how the jury emerged in medieval England from trials by fire and water, in which validations of vengeance were presumed to be divinely supervised, and how delusions identical to those that once sent witches to the stake were revived as accusations of Satanic child abuse during the 1980s. Lifting the lid on a particularly bizarre niche of legal history, Kadri tells how European lawyers once prosecuted animals, objects, and corpses–and argues that the same instinctive urge to punish is still apparent when a child or mentally ill defendant is accused of sufficiently heinous crimes. But Kadri’s history is about aspiration as well as ignorance. He shows how principles such as the right to silence and the right to confront witnesses, hallmarks of due process guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, were derived from the Bible by twelfth-century monks. He tells of show trials from Tudor England to Stalin’s Soviet Union, but contends that “no-trials,” in Guantánamo Bay and elsewhere, are just as repugnant to Western traditions of justice and fairness. With governments everywhere eroding legal protections in the name of an indefinite war on terror, Kadri’s analysis could hardly be timelier. At once encyclopedic and entertaining, comprehensive and colorful, The Trial rewards curiosity and an appreciation of the absurd but tackles as well questions that are profound. Who has the right to judge, and why? What did past civilizations hope to achieve through scapegoats and sacrifices–and to what extent are defendants still made to bear the sins of society at large? Kadri addresses such themes through scores of meticulously researched stories, all told with the verve and wit that won him one of Britain’s most prestigious travel-writing awards–and in doing so, he has created a masterpiece of popular history.
Download or read book A Companion to the Early Modern Catholic Global Missions written by Ronnie Po-Chia Hsia and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of the latest scholarship on Catholic missions between the 16th and 18th centuries, this collection of fourteen essays by historians from eight countries offers not only a global view of the organization, finances, personnel, and history of Catholic missions to the Americas, Africa, and Asia, but also the complex political, cultural, and religious contexts of the missionary fields. The conquests and colonization of the Americas presented a different stage for the drama of evangelization in contrast to that of Africa and Asia: the inhospitable landscape of Africa, the implacable Islamic societies of the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires, and the self-assured regimes of Ming-Qing China, Nguyen dynasty Vietnam, and Tokugawa Japan. Contributors are Tara Alberts, Mark Z. Christensen, Dominique Deslandres, R. Po-chia Hsia, Aliocha Maldavsky, Anne McGinness, Christoph Nebgen, Adina Ruiu, Alan Strathern, M. Antoni J.

Download or read book Words and Worlds Turned Around written by David Tavárez and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sophisticated, state-of-the-art study of the remaking of Christianity by indigenous societies, Words and Worlds Turned Around reveals the manifold transformations of Christian discourses in the colonial Americas. The book surveys how Christian messages were rendered in indigenous languages; explores what was added, transformed, or glossed over; and ends with an epilogue about contemporary Nahuatl Christianities. In eleven case studies drawn from eight Amerindian languages—Nahuatl, Northern and Valley Zapotec, Quechua, Yucatec Maya, K'iche' Maya, Q'eqchi' Maya, and Tupi—the authors address Christian texts and traditions that were repeatedly changed through translation—a process of “turning around” as conveyed in Classical Nahuatl. Through an examination of how Christian terms and practices were made, remade, and negotiated by both missionaries and native authors and audiences, the volume shows the conversion of indigenous peoples as an ongoing process influenced by what native societies sought, understood, or accepted. The volume features a rapprochement of methodologies and assumptions employed in history, anthropology, and religion and combines the acuity of of methodologies drawn from philology and historical linguistics with the contextualizing force of the ethnohistory and social history of Spanish and Portuguese America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “El libro de Benji Espinoza Ramos, Litigación penal. Manual de aplicación del proceso común, es una obra poco común, en el sentido positivo de la expresión, que tiene excelentes fundamentos teóricos, pero no es un libro simplemente teórico. Es un libro para la acción, con vocación transformadora, que nos muestra un camino a seguir para abandonar las prácticas de un modelo de justicia profundamente inquisitiva. Se trata de una obra con un buen desarrollo conceptual que, además, agrega abundante y muy útil jurisprudencia, nacional e internacional. A nuestro juicio, los grandes aciertos de la obra son los capítulos I y IV, dedicados a los principios generales del proceso penal y al juicio, respectivamente. Esta nueva obra de Benji Espinoza Ramos, Litigación penal. Manual de aplicación del proceso común, cuya lectura recomendamos, trae aire fresco al ámbito del derecho procesal penal. No es una obra puramente teórica, no es una obra de jurisprudencia, no es una obra sobre técnicas de interrogatorio. Es todo eso, y bastante más. Este libro sirve al estudiante que quiere conocer el nuevo proceso penal y sirve al operador del servicio de justicia que quiere comprender y prepararse para intervenir en el proceso penal. Ambas son buenas razones para recomendar su lectura.” Alberto Bovino.

Download or read book Idolatry and Its Enemies written by Kenneth Mills and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-24 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ecclesiastical investigations into Indian religious error--the Extirpation of idolatry--that occurred in the seventeenth-and eighteenth-century Archdiocese of Lima come to life here as the most revealing sources on colonial Andean religion and culture. Focusing on a largely neglected period, 1640 to 1750, and moving beyond portrayals that often view the relationships between indigenous peoples and Europeans solely in terms of repression, opposition, or accommodation, Kenneth Mills provides a wealth of new material and interpretation for understanding native Andeans and Spanish Christians as participants in a common, if not harmonious, history. By examining colonial interaction and "religion as lived," he introduces memorable native Andean and Spanish actors and finds vivid points of entry into the complex realities of parish life in the mid-colonial Andes. Mills describes fitful, sometimes unintentional, and often ambiguous kinds of religious change among Andeans. He shows that many of the Quechua speakers whose testimonies form the bulk of the archival evidence were simultaneously active Catholic parishioners and adherents to a complex of transforming Andean religious structures. Mills also explores the notions of reformation and correction that fueled the extirpating process in the central Andes, as elsewhere. Moreover, he demonstrates wide differences of opinion among Spanish churchmen as to the best manner to proceed against the suspect religiosity of baptized Andeans--many of whom considered themselves Christians. In so doing, he connects this religious history to experiences in other regions of colonial Spanish America and to wider relations between Christian and non-Christian peoples.
