In this paper, I examine the current geographical location of Portuguese courts and the effects this territorial redefinition has had on the relationships between the justice system and the territories/populations in a context in which external and internal political factors, rather than a mere need to improve the justice system, have played a major role. Such an analysis entails three key elements: the geographic impacts on access to justice, in view of the emblematic presence of the state in the territories, both contrasted with the conflict between specialisation and the proximity of jurisdiction.

葡萄牙的司法地理：重新定义司法领域

在本文中，我研究了葡萄牙法院当前的地理位置以及这种领土重新定义对司法系统与领土/人口之间关系的影响，在这种情况下，外部和内部政治因素，而不仅仅是需要完善司法制度，发挥了重大作用。这样的分析需要三个关键要素：鉴于国家在领土上的象征性存在，对诉诸司法的地理影响，这两者都与专业化和管辖权接近之间的冲突形成鲜明对比。
