Soft law jurisdiccional y para-jurisdiccional: el papel de los jueces en la creación del soft law
(Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México, 2025-12-31) Núñez Vaquero, Álvaro; Fundamentos del Orden Jurídico y Constitucional; Facultad de Derecho
The main objective of this paper is to shed light on a little-studied phenomenon: soft law formulated by courts and their subordinate organs. To this end, it introduces the concepts of soft law, jurisdictional (and para-jurisdictional) organs and competence, and non-normative directives. It then presents four cases of soft law formulated by judicial organs and sub-organs. then, three classifications –author, recipient and type of instrument– are introduced in order to better identify these directives. Finally, some brief conclusions are drawn.

¿Violan los precedentes la IJI? Desencuentros desde la incomprensión
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP), 2025-05-29) Núñez Vaquero, Álvaro; Fundamentos del Orden Jurídico y Constitucional; Facultad de Derecho
This work aims to clarify, from the point of view of the analytical theory of law, the question of whether the existence of judicial precedents in a legal system necessarily implies a violation of the internal judicial independence (IJI). To answer the question, we will try to clarify the way in which the IJI is being understood to affirm that it would be affected by the presence of a system of precedents (SP’s). It will proceed as follows: First, it will start by making explicit the reasons why it is necessary to deal with this problem. Secondly, it will be specified what it means that there is a binding SP’s. Third, it will explain what judicial independence consists of, presenting the reasons that justify the IJI: respect for the will of the legislator and equality in the application of law. Next, I will present three aspects of the IJI that could clash with the presence of an SP’s. In the fourth section, it will be argued that an SP’s is less injurious to the IJI than attributing to each of the judges a non-revisable competence to establish how the law should be interpreted and applied. In the Conclusions, it is pointed out that although there may be reasons against having a precedent system, the IJI is not one of them.

Conceptos dogmáticos
(Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, 2025-04-22) Núñez Vaquero, Álvaro; Fundamentos del Orden Jurídico y Constitucional; Facultad de Derecho
The present study sets out to explore the role of legal concepts in argumentation, with a particular focus on the contributions of scholars of positive law. The legal concepts formulated by these scholars play a fundamental role in our theories on the content of law (general theory of contract and the general theory of crime, etc). However, it should be noted that within the legal field, there exists a variety of legal concepts that have been elaborated in the dogmatic field. This diversity of dogmatic concepts makes it possible to carry out different operations in the fields of legal interpretation and construction.

Sobre la maximización de la jurisprudencia y los precedentes
(EdiUNS, Universidad Nacional del Sur (UNS) de Argentina, 2022-12-28) Núñez Vaquero, Álvaro; Fundamentos del Orden Jurídico y Constitucional; Facultad de Derecho
The objective of this work is to carry out a reconstruction and critical analysis of the institutionalized mechanisms for identifying rationes decidendi, that is, the norms formulated and/or used in jurisdictional decisions for the decision and justification of other cases. In the first place, it begins with an introduction giving an account of the importance and relevance of the phenomenon. Secondly, the fundamental concepts of any theory and/or doctrine of precedent are established: precedent, rule of precedent and ratio. Thirdly, it analyzes what these mechanisms of institutionalized identification of the rationes consist of. Fourth, some advantages of incorporating mechanisms of this type into a legal system are presented. Fifth, some of the supposed dangers that such mechanisms would entail are discussed. Sixthly, two real dangers that the identification of rationes using these mechanisms involves are analysed. It ends with some very brief conclusions.

Problemas abiertos de la publicación de precedentes
(2020-12-28) Núñez Vaquero, Álvaro; Fundamentos del Orden Jurídico y Constitucional; Facultad de Derecho
El objetivo del presente trabajo es presentar algunos de los problemas centrales que surgen de considerar la publicación como un requisito para la existencia de precedentes. Defenderé la tesis según la cual no es necesaria la publicación para hablar de sistema de precedentes ni de precedentes en particular. Partiré presentando la importancia que tiene la publicación de precedentes. A continuación, analizaré qué significa decir que tenemos precedentes. Posteriormente, mostraré diferentes factores que determinan el tipo de publicación para, a continuación, presentar los problemas que genera considerar la publicación como un requisito para que haya precedentes. Concluiré intentando especificar qué papel juega la publicación en un sistema de precedentes.

Análisis crítico de algunas definiciones comunes del concepto de soft Law
(Universidad de Granada, 2025-02-04) Núñez Vaquero, Álvaro; Fundamentos del Orden Jurídico y Constitucional; Facultad de Derecho
The aim of this paper is to critically analyze some of the most widespread concepts of soft law in the literature as a necessary first step to formulate a definition that will serve to improve our understanding of soft law. To this end, I will first state that attempts to define the term “soft law” in a broad sense have the problem of either being unmanageably long or ending up as vague, intentional definitions. I will then present two definitions of soft law that are widely shared in the literature (Snyder and Senden). I will then divide this definition for critical analysis into three parts: soft law is a set of rules of conduct; soft law is not legally binding; and soft law can produce practical and legal effects (the latter only indirect). I will conclude by arguing that the properties identified by these definitions do not serve to adequately characterize soft law.
