Abstract

The debate surrounding the delivery or administration of justice in Colombia has taken different courses and has been approached from different positions. On the one hand, to understand that the weighting or valuation of rights must be given under the understanding of the administration so that an order is given would locate the judge as an administrator of justice; On the other hand, to understand the judge as interpreter of the norm beyond its literal tenor and thus apply it in a broader but rational sense within the discretion would place him as a justice provider. Thus, this paper takes up the classic debate on the role of the judge or administrator of justice, addressing the problem of the interpretation of law and its impact on the application and realization of justice beyond the cold paper throughout the history and within the framework of a Social State of Law for the resolution of legal problems.
