We will study two administrative management considered paradigmatic in terms of institutional reform: argentinian Alejandra Gils Carbó (2012-2017), and uruguayan Jorge Díaz (2012-present).

The chosen methodology is qualitative: conducting interviews, analyzing documents and secondary sources. The comparative perspective allows contextualizing the importance of institutional changes proposed by general attorneys. Beyond a common paradigm in the region favorable to reform Justice administration systems, the result of this research shows some divergences in key aspects on each country.
