Abstract

The general objective of the research was to carry out a legal analysis of the procedural overload in the judicial unit of Cantón Tulcán, Ecuador. It used the quantitative method which produces descriptive data, originating from data collection. Supported by the documentary-bibliographic review. In addition, the inductive-deductive method was used. The analytical-synthetic method was also used. A sample of 20 people was established, including lawyers, judges and guardians of minors in the city of Tulcán, using a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. It is concluded that the procedural overload in the judicial system is an evident problem, as there is an immoderate amount of cases that need to be attended to. This procedural overload leads to long-term consequences, which can be detrimental to the parties involved in the different judicial processes.
