El perito de confianza de los jueces

The court appointed experts offer many advantages that could be heightened if greater attention is given to its proper selection and the criteria thereby involved, apart from his/her mere impartiality. Unfortunately, today’s legal judicial systems have been focusing exclusively on the institutionalization of the expert, even justifying on this ground only the use of specialized information to make judicial decisions. The aim, here, is to develop a theoretical framework giving substantial content to what might be the peculiar trait of such expert evidence: its selection based on epistemologically adequate criteria.
