This essay offers a feasible and verifiable theoretical basis for affirming what is called the fourth procedural paradigm, corresponding to the constitutional perspective of the civil procedure or the constitutionalization of it, as an overcoming of its previous classical and instrumentalist stages. To this end, through the interdisciplinary method, the research uses constitutional law, legal interpretation and procedural law to reshape the theoretical bases of the civil process and give it a constitutionalized value through the recognition of fundamental procedural rights as directly applicable norms containing optimization mandates. If it is a question of constitutionalizing the civil procedure, the essay, then, does not only seek the safe passage through the account of the so-called procedural guarantees. On the contrary, the functional or utility method applied to the same imposes th...

Afirmo que es precisamente esta función la que debe detentar toda Corte Suprema, que consistirá en dar unidad al Derecho y atribuir un significado uniforme [interpretación unívoca] a partir del juzgamiento de casos concretos, así como emitir un precedente relativamente vinculante siempre y cuando un recurso de casación particularmente trascendente haya generado el acceso a esta...
