CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS ON THE ROLE OF THE JUDGE
CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS ON THE ROLE OF THE JUDGE

Summary/Abstract: The judge is now regarded as a vocation professional, who is required to apply the law in the pursuit of justice, promoting the principles of the rule of law and defending fundamental human rights and freedoms. However, the exercise of the judge profession is more than a deontological provision, a duty towards the community. Historically and fully actual, the exercise of the judge profession must be an ethical manifestation, understood as a service of good, a high but fully achievable goal. On this thesis, the study reveals the current character of many of the precepts governing the statute of the judge, eloquently illustrated through the analysis of representative cultural and religious traditions. Many of these appear to be constant and common, which reaffirms that the role of the judge is generally the same, anywhere in the world, the historical time, the cultural specificity or the juridical branch not being decisive for its manifestations.
