Welcome
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the new website of the Justice Studies Center of the Americas (CEJA), redesigned to offer a more accessible, modern, and dynamic digital space that reflects our institutional commitment to strengthening justice systems in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Our new website introduces several important updates. First, it refreshes and expands our areas of work, aligning them with the current challenges and priorities of judicial systems in the region. CEJA’s experience, built over 26 years of work, is now organized into thematic lines that integrate both our traditional fields and newer, emerging areas of special interest to States, justice institutions, civil society, and academia across the Americas.
Another key feature of the new website is its regional and country-based perspective, which allows users to view CEJA’s work in an integrated way at both the regional level and within each OAS Member State. All of our studies, training programs, seminars, and activities are presented at two levels—regional and national—highlighting our regional impact while showcasing our national experiences. In this way, visitors can easily explore CEJA’s work in their own country and understand how it connects to shared regional challenges.
In addition, the new portal is bilingual in real time, in Spanish and English. Through the use of automatic translation and language detection technologies, content is available simultaneously in both languages and adapts to each visitor’s location or language preference. This innovation strengthens CEJA’s international reach and seeks to expand our community throughout the continent.
Finally, the new website features a more attractive and intuitive visual design, which has also been extended to our digital library (BiblioCEJA) and our e-learning platform (CEJACampus). This coherence and integration across platforms aim to provide a unified, seamless, and accessible experience for all those interested in CEJA’s work.
This update represents the first comprehensive renewal of CEJA’s website since its creation more than 20 years ago, marking an important institutional milestone and responding to current needs for transparency, access to comparative data, and the availability of knowledge tools for the regional legal community.
We hope our community of visitors enjoys this renewed digital space and finds in it knowledge, evidence, and inspiration to continue transforming justice systems across the Americas together.
