DEL LIBERALISMO A LA PARIDAD: TRES MODELOS PARA PENSAR EL MATRIMONIO, EL DIVORCIO Y LA PATERNIDAD
(Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México, 2013) Isabel Cristina Jaramillo Sierra
Los libros de doctrina o tratados pocas veces se hacen cargo de todas las consideraciones teóricas que están involucradas en exponer una materia. Estas consideraciones, por consiguiente, tienden a volverse una rutina que se repite sin muchas consecuencias. El propósito de este trabajo es presentar tres modelos con los que dentro de nuestra tradición, la latinoamericana, se han pensado las reglas sobre matrimonio, divorcio y paternidad. El fin último es enriquecer el debate contemporáneo sobre la reforma de estas reglas al proporcionar herramientas, argumentos y perspectivas sobre los límites y oportunidades de cada modelo.

El problema del procesamiento de información en la selección de tutelas por la Corte Constitucional, con especial atención al papel de las insistencias
(Universidad de Los Andes, 2010) Isabel Cristina Jaramillo Sierra; Antonio Barreto Rozo
This paper, in contrast to mainstream judicial politics literature in the United States and Latin America, proposes an approach to study judicial behavior that takes into account the problem of information processing. From this perspective the authors provide an account of the process of agenda setting through the selection of tutelas by the Colombian Constitutional Court. The authors conclude that the processing of information concerning tutelas by the Court prevents learning by assigning the first reading and selection of cases to very young and inexperienced clerks, by failing to study systematically the results of different approaches to the issues and and by denying Justices and clerks access to information about other justices’ and officials’ opinions as well as on who will decide the case after it is chosen for review. The insistence mechanism partially corrects these defects.
ENTREVISTA COM ISABEL CRISTINA JARAMILLO SIERRA
(2025) Isabel Cristina Jaramillo Sierra; Ana Paula de Oliveira Sciammarella; Andrea Catalina León Amaya
En esta entrevista retomamos el diálogo con la profesora colombiana Isabel Cristina Jaramillo Sierra, con dos intenciones. En primer lugar, pretendemos hacer un reconocimiento a su trayectoria, lo que de paso significa resaltar las experiencias latinoamericanas de constitución de redes de juristas y académicas feministas del derecho en América Latina. La Red ALAS, que Isabel coordina, fue fundada en 2004 y puede decirse que constituye hoy el espacio más robusto de trabajo colaborativo entre profesoras de Derecho de tiempo completo procedentes de diferentes países latinoamericanos. Entre otras cosas, nos inspiran las acciones de esa Red direccionadas a divulgar y ampliar la visibilidad y repercusión de la producción académica de docentes que incorporan en sus investigaciones y trabajo docente la perspectiva de género y/o feminista. En segundo lugar, y a propósito del tema propuesto como hilo conductor del dosier, en esta entrevista buscamos propiciar la reconstrucción de un relato sobre la movilización legal para la producción del derecho al aborto legal y seguro en Colombia, justamente por ella, Isabel Cristina Jaramillo Sierra —una de sus protagonistas y estudiosas—. Puede ser que esta aproximación nos dé pistas para robustecer las agendas de investigación y de movilización en Brasil. Es un ejercicio de diálogo binacional y latinoamericano sobre justicia reproductiva y derechos reproductivos, desde el campo socio jurídico, que esperamos se intensifique y rinda frutos, al enfocar en las estrategias, en las narrativas construidas a partir del derecho y en los actores que las elaboran, encarnan e impulsan.
“Family” as a legal concept
(Universidad Icesi, 2015) Isabel Cristina Jaramillo Sierra; Helena Alviar
The concept of “family” plays an important role in the way national legal regimes distribute both power and resources. However, the idea of what a family is or should be is not univocal for all branches of law. In this paper we wish to contribute to feminist thinking about the law and to legal theory in general, by showing the contradictions and gaps in law’s incorporation of the legal concept of the family and their distributive impact. We use the notion of conceptual fragmentation to refer to the irregular manner in which family as a legal concept lands into the realms of diverse fields of law at different moments in time and with different emphasis. We argue that conceptual fragmentation makes connections through time and subject matter invisible, and therefore makes it harder to have a critique of the role of the family, treated as a legal concept, in the oppression of women. We establish that conceptual fragmentation is not irrational or incoherent but rather patterned in ways that correspond to the losses of women in contemporary societies. We use the case of colombian law to illustrate the stakes involved in defining the family and the operations that we call fragmentation. In particular, we explain how family law exceptionalism was produced, the importance of the legal concept of the family within family law and its ambivalence as to the proper definition, and the evolution of the concept of family within social policy. We argue that even if the stakes of the family seem to be all for same sex couples, in so far as “family” is still about reproduction and distribution, we should be vigilant about how women fare in the conceptual turns that seek to bring us closer to the natural family.
Leyendo y escribiendo sentencias como feministas
(2023) Isabel Cristina Jaramillo Sierra
Como feministas, nos interesan las sentencias judiciales de muchas maneras. Las sentencias deciden cuestiones que nos importan, construyen mundos en los que vivimos y se usan para enseñar a generaciones de jóvenes qué es lo que nos corresponde. Después de dedicar décadas a reformar las constituciones, las leyes y las convenciones internacionales, finalmente ha llegado el momento de cuestionar la imparcialidad con la que se ha defendido nuestra falta de acceso a la justicia. En este artículo quiero recoger cuatro prácticas feministas relacionadas con las sentencias judiciales: la crítica de los estereotipos, la crítica distributiva, la doctrina feminista y la escritura feminista. El artículo se divide en tres partes. La primera parte se dedica a dos formas de crítica feminista de las sentencias judiciales: la crítica de estereotipos y la crítica distributiva. Explica los supuestos de los que parten unas y otras en relación con la decisión judicial y proporciona ejemplos de lecturas feministas que se orientan a estos objetivos. La segunda parte presenta dos formas de apropiación feminista de las sentencias: la construcción de doctrina y de sentencias feministas. Plantea los elementos principales de estas prácticas a través de algunos de sus proponentes y los retos de hablar como autoridades en mundos donde todavía somos recién llegadas. Así mismo reflexiona sobre las dificultades de crear metodologías que deben ser aplicadas o usadas por inexpertos en teoría feminista. La tercera parte recoge los principales argumentos presentados y los retos que ellos suponen para la enseñanza legal.
Replication Data for: Public Reactions to Non-Compliance with Judicial Orders
(Harvard University, 2021) Ryan E. Carlin; Mariana Castrellón; Varun Gauri; Isabel Cristina Jaramillo Sierra; Jeffrey K. Staton
Constitutions empower people to ask judges for binding orders directing state agents to remedy rights violations, but state agents do not always comply. Scholars propose that by making it easier to observe non-compliance, courts can leverage public pressure for compliance when it exists. Yet, exposure to information about non-compliance might lead individuals to accept high levels of non-compliance and reduce support for judicial remedies. We estimate the rate of non-compliance with judges' orders via a rigorous tracking study of the Colombian tutela. We then embed this rate in three survey experiments fielded with online national quota samples. We show that people find the non-compliance rate in the tutela highly unacceptable regardless of a variety of mitigating factors. We also show that public reactions to this information depends on prior expectations, a finding that stresses the importance of scholarship in cognitive psychology for studies of compliance in law and politics.

Sex Equality
(Oxford University Press, 2022) Isabel Cristina Jaramillo Sierra
Abstract The last twenty years or so have witnessed crucial innovations in Latin America regarding constitutional design: from Argentina’s constitutionalizing of international law in 1994 to Ecuador and Bolivia’s consecration of good living as a constitutional principle. However, sex discrimination, as an argument, has just started to take root in legal mobilization and adjudication throughout the region. This chapter maps out these interventions to highlight the building blocks for the feminist constitutionalism to come, while acknowledging that constitutions have been hostile environments for women and that there have been good reasons for women to stay away. It starts by providing an account of how sex equality is mandated in the text of Latin American constitutions. It then describes the ways in which Courts have used sex equality in cases involving constitutional decisions. Finally, it describes three strategies used by feminist organizations to harness the power of constitutions to better the lives of women.
