Communication, Constitutional Justice, Constitutional Courts, Social Networks, Digital RevolutionAbstract
The text discusses the growing importance of the communication of constitutional and supreme courts with public opinion, and how new technologies are transforming this relationship. It highlights the need for an empirical analysis of court communication, due to the scarcity of norms regulating these activities. The author examines who, what, how and to whom courts communicate, and considers the influence of the normative and factual context in which they operate. It is concluded that these transformations have an impact on the role of constitutional jurisdictions.
