摘要

摘要：本文探讨司法解释对法律制度变迁的影响。对宪法权利案件的分析和对法官、律师和活动家的178次半结构化访谈表明，法官通过临时行使司法机构，改变对现有制度安排的理解和使用，为动员社会权利创造了机会。哥伦比亚法官指出权利之间的相互联系，而南非法官则关注人的尊严。这些选择刺激了哥伦比亚监护程序的大规模但不可预见的扩大，并促进了以政策为导向的司法决策和对南非宪法权利诉讼的“有意义的参与”。

Judicial Agency and the Adjudication of Social Rights

ABSTRACT:This article explores the impact of judicial interpretation on legal system change. An analysis of constitutional rights cases and 178 semi-structured interviews with judges, lawyers, and activists shows that judges created opportunities for mobilization for social rights by changing understandings about and uses of pre-existing institutional arrangements, through the contingent exercise of judicial agency. While Colombian judges pointed to interconnectedness of rights, South African judges focused on human dignity. These choices spurred the massive, yet unforeseen, expansion of the tutela procedure in Colombia and precipitated policy-oriented judicial decision-making and “meaningful engagement” in South African constitutional rights litigation.
