Abstract

The author studies the signs the Supreme Court of Justice is putting out in Argentina. Above all, he focuses on the new composition of its sentences and its agreements, intended to renew and strengthen its institutional role, concentrate its efforts on dealing with matters of real constitutional import, and perhaps, come closer to the role of a constitutional court in functional terms. The Court’s institutional shape after this reconfiguration has generated uncertainty as to issues covered in this article. These include the structure of its scope of powers, its relationships to other branches of State power and other constitutional bodies, and the way in which this set of factors may impact the model on control over constitutionality within the federal system.
