Abstract

The research aims to evaluate the extent to which the precedents established by the Supreme Court, by reaching a decision on the appeals to unify jurisprudence between 2008 and 2013, have been followed by the Justices of that same court. This evaluation, which is «internal and personal», complements the «internal and institutional» evaluation that was carried out in a previous investigation. The results show that, in general, the precedent has been closely followed at an internal and personal level.
