Causas de la congestión en la jurisdicción contencioso administrativa de Caldas

Abstract

This paper shows an initial study about an interesting topic in Caldas and in Colombia at large: the justice congestion in the chamber for contentious administrative proceedings. This study, which began as an academic essay for a class, created enough curiosity within the research group and later turned into a research project. This was properly revised by external peers and finally gave rise to the idea of a beginner`s research club called SENDERA. The participants of SENDERA are law school students of the University of Manizales, who have participated in a series of conferences. Based on that participation, they have realized possible causes of the congestion in the chamber for contentious administrative proceedings in Caldas and possible violations of human rights from the late decisions of administrative court offices. This research project studied the movement of judicial processes submitted during 2005-2006 and the first semester of 2007 in the chamber for contentious administrative proceedings in Caldas and also studied the activity performed by public officials in the justice administration.
