Spanish abstract: Este articulo sostiene que el modelo de constitucionalismo transformador tiene una vision sobre el tipo, rol y diseno de los sistemas de justicia. En primer lugar, el poder judicial debe ser del tipo fuerte pero dialogico. En segundo lugar, los jueces deben, por una parte, promover las transformaciones sociales cuando tambien lo hacen los demas poderes del Estado. Por otra parte, los jueces deben defender los cambios sociales cuando las otras ramas del poder tienen una agenda regresiva. En tercer lugar, el diseno de los sistemas de justicia debe ser el mas abierto y cercano a los ciudadanos. El objetivo es contar con un poder judicial que enfrente, dentro de sus limites, los desafios que representan los diferentes problemas sociales, politicos y economicos de America Latina mediante avances en la construccion del Estado de bienestar. English abstract: This article argues that the transformative constitutionalism model has a vision about the type, role and design of judicial systems. First, the judiciary must adopt a strong but dialogical form of judicial review. Second, judges must promote social transformation when the other powers of the State do so. On the other hand, judges must defend social changes when the other branches have a regressive agenda. Third, the design of judicial systems must include mechanisms to extend the standing before the courts in order for the judges to appear closer to the citizens’ social claims. The objective is to have a judiciary that is able to face, within its limits, the challenges posed by the different social, political and economic problems of Latin America through advances in the construction of the welfare state.
