Commitment Title
Preparation of an annex of sentences, with a clear and understandable wording, oriented to priority groups.
Problem
It has been identified that the rulings issued by the Supreme Court of Justice of the State are not very clear, since they do not use colloquial language or use very complicated or technical terms, which are incomprehensible and confusing to the interested parties. The foregoing represents a great problem for society because when these elements are combined, it prevents the identification of relevant information for a person without knowledge in law or lawyering, generating, among other circumstances, economic problems, as they are forced to hire a lawyer, who at least, interprets and explains the resolutions, finding in these situations, multiple cases of abuses.
Status quo
The purpose of this annex is to provide a brief and concise explanation of the scope and consequences of the sentence issued, using simple, clear and understandable language and in accordance with the needs of the interested parties.
Action
Prepare an annex to the summary of the judgments in clear, simple and understandable language, in those files where a person belonging to groups in vulnerable situations or persons who due to their circumstances are unable to understand the content of the judgments issued by the Supreme Court of Justice of the State of Jalisco is a party.
Groups to be considered: children, adolescents, senior citizens, indigenous communities, people without schooling, people with disabilities and/or migrants.
How will the commitment contribute to solving the public problem described above?
In order to comply with the commitment, initially, two courses will be held for the personnel of the Judicial Branch of the State: the first with the purpose of identifying the needs or areas of opportunity that limit the personnel to write the sentences in a clear and simple manner, thus seeking to generate an initial diagnosis; the second course will provide the necessary tools for the personnel to be able to write the annexes of the summary of the sentence, clearly explaining the scope and consequences of the same, especially to persons belonging to groups in a situation of vulnerability.
At all times, personal data will be protected, so they will be public versions.
Additionally, there are plans to explore the possibility of acquiring a Braille printer, as well as the creation of a platform to digitize the sentences with videos.
What long-term goal as identified in your Open Government Strategy does this commitment relate to?
It is directly linked to the State Development Plan by "guaranteeing the rights and freedom of people is an unavoidable task of the State, with its different powers, orders of government and autonomous agencies. Safe citizens, free from risk and threats, living in harmony and peace, is the result of legal certainty, access to justice and public safety;".
Likewise, it is linked to the State Plan of Governance and Development of Jalisco 2018-2024 in point 9 referring to the Planning of the Judicial Branch, specifically in its third strategic objective that mentions, "Consolidate open justice".
