The probably most prominent feature of the culture and contemporary legal practice is the increasingly important role of argumentation in the different areas of legal life. In Latin countries, the process of constitutionalisation of the law is giving rise to profound changes in the way of conceiving the right and to operate it. There are, of course, differences among the various national systems, but also great similarities: the Latino Jurists, Europe and America, share a same legal tradition and have to cope with very similar underlying problems. It is not therefore surprising that the argumentative techniques used and the solutions to those problems are largely interchangeable.

The Observatory of legal argumentation to the Latin world can be a valuable piece for the strengthening of a legal culture "regional" which, in turn, can contribute to a better balance in the process of legal globalization (largely)(, the globalization of the Anglo-American localism) who is living in the past few decades.

The DOXA Observatory primarily pursues two purposes :

Take account of the State and development of the legal arguments in Latin; and,
Contribute to the improvement of jurídico-argumentativas practices in the Latin world.

For the realization of these, the DOXA Observatory is organized and operates around the following lines of action:

Information: offering updated and relevant information on jurídico-argumentativas practices in the Latin world.
Criticism: promotion of the analysis and assessment, public and deliberative, in the legal argumentation in the Latin world.
Theoretical: contribution to the cooperative development and dissemination of methodological and institutional guidelines to improve the quality of the argumentative praxis in the Latin legal world.

Services

With a view to ensuring the continuity and quality of these services, the Observatory DOXA feeds of information, opinions and suggestions from, on the one hand, of the nodes that make up the network of observation and, on the other hand, the communicative interactionprimarily through the virtual forums of discussion, of citizens, legal operators, law students, academic and other participants in the argumentative praxis.
