The New Pure Adversarial Paradigm in the Criminal Procedural Code of Jujuy

Abstract

The procedural rules established by the jurisdictional units of the federal political system have shifted from the so-called mixed system—comprised of an initial inquisitorial stage followed by a plenary stage characterized by a moderated adversarial approach, with active judicial intervention—to a moderate adversarial system, ultimately reaching a pure adversarial system. This article examines these changes, which are not merely a modification of the criminal litigation system, but constitute a cultural paradigm shift with significant social impact challenges.
