Abstract

This paper contrasts two theoretical approaches that have strained the work of the judiciary from an opposing point of view. On the one hand, the classic critique of "legal realism", which challenges the judge's ability to decide in accordance with the requirements of the legal system, is discussed. Here, the problem lies in the excessive " humanity " of the judge. Conversely, the reverse argument arises from the debate about the possibilities of judicial artificial Intelligence. In this context, criticism has been that algorithms lack certain qualities (structural and functional, but also "sociological") that make it impossible to fully replace the human judge. The "artificiality" of intelligence is the concern here. Both perspectives are brought together in order to determine whether, between the pressures for "abstraction" and "humanization", remains any room for a judge.
