Abstract
In this paper we offer the first findings of an investigation that explores the trajectories of judicial actors who work in criminal justice and, simultaneously, carry out teaching tasks, either at the university level, or by teaching training courses for members of the judiciary. Specifically, we address two questions: the way and circumstances in which they enter criminal justice, and secondly, the most relevant characteristics that these judicial actors attribute to the judicial space in which their work trajectories are developed. We apply the “snowball” technique to access our interviewees. It is an exploratory work that, as such, does not offer statistical representativeness on the universe of criminal justice. However, it allowed us to carry out some typological characterizations based on certain regularities to better understand these amphibious subjects who jointly inhabit the judicial and educational spaces.
