El trabajo revisa la noción de independencia judicial y su relación con el precedente vinculante desde una perspectiva iberoamericana, con especial énfasis en los ordenamientos jurídicos argentino y brasileño. Se advierte que impera una concepción de independencia judicial que la categoriza como garantía reconocida en favor del juez y no como un derecho que asiste a las partes, lo que provoca una oposición infundada hacia el precedente judicial. En su reemplazo, se propone una revalorización de la independencia judicial a partir del análisis de su esencia y finalidad. La propuesta se inspira en la labor de la Cumbre Judicial Iberoamericana; en especial, en los principios contenidos en el Código Modelo Iberoamericano de Ética Judicial y en el Estatuto del Juez Iberoamericano, que reconocen al justiciable como protagonista del proceso y razón de ser del sistema judicial. Tal perspectiva disipa toda tensión entre la independencia judicial y el respeto por lo ya resuelto en casos análogos anteriores.
