Download or read book The Brazilian Legal Profession in the Age of Globalization written by Luciana Gross Cunha and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of globalization's impact on the Brazilian legal profession. Employing original data from nine empirical studies, the book details how Brazil's need to restructure its economy and manage its global relationships contributed to the emergence of a new 'corporate legal sector' - a sector marked by increasingly large and sophisticated law firms and in-house legal departments. This corporate legal sector in turned helped to reshape other parts of the Brazilian legal profession, including legal education, pro bono practices, the regulation of legal services, and the state's legal capacity in international economic law. The book, the second in a series on Globalization, Lawyers, and Emerging Economies, will be of interest to academics, lawyers, and policymakers concerned with the role that a rapidly globalizing legal profession is playing in the development of key emerging economies, and how these countries are integrating into the global market for legal services.

Download or read book U S Power and the Social State in Brazil written by Júlio Cattai and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-29 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book analyzes the elite-led efforts to transform the Brazilian legal order in the period between 1930–1975 and how U.S. Power played a major role in such a process. Besides the global circulation of ideas, the book discusses the Brazilian institutional development in the period. A profound "Crisis of Civilization" marked the first decades of the century: the references of space and time vanished with the vertiginous expansion of cities and industries, while a myriad of immigrants and former slaves were alleged to be threatening the country’s traditions. Brazilian elites blamed liberalism for such a "Crisis". Based on a decade of research, this book centralizes Brazilian history in liberalism and offers a genealogy of the jurisprudential and institutional struggles to correct the culture of laissez-faire. Using archival sources, it shows the direct U.S. influence on Brazilian thought and development. Recasting the history of legal ideas in the 20th century and providing novel interpretations on major political processes, it offers a rigorous and fresh look at the development of liberalism in the country. Covering five decades of history and offering a transnational approach involving the U.S. hegemonic role in Brazil, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of law, U.S. foreign policy, area studies and international relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustained since the early history of Brazil, the mutually beneficial relationship between the state and elites has been perpetuated throughout the centuries to the detriment of the rights, freedoms and interests of the rest of the population. By analysing primary and secondary sources on Brazil's history, legal system, current affairs and general legal and political theory, as well as current and past domestic and international legal frameworks, this thesis highlights, in the case of Brazil, law's role in cementing social and economic inequality, mirroring society's class relations and providing the ruling classes with a tool for their continued socio-political-economic dominance, pinpointing the consolidation of their power on the development of a Coimbra-graduated consensually unified political elite during Brazil's formation as a nation-state. Political and social sciences' publications have concentrated on exploring Brazil's legal system's ingrained injustices, whilst Brazilian law research has been historically isolated from other sciences and unduly affected by the prejudices of the legal profession. This research links law with other disciplines by analysing the historical foundations of the inequities promoted by Brazil's legal system as well as presenting both a theoretical and a practical framework for change. Theoretically, a conception of the rule of law, suitable to explaining why the observance of formal legality has not promoted the convergence between the country's legal framework and its socio- political reality, is advanced. Importantly, such formulation offers an ideal that both matches Brazil's aspirations and is compatible with the Western liberal democratic ideals defining the international world order into which the country is increasingly willing to participate. Practically, the often neglected conditions for the implementation of the rule of law are established, providing Brazil with the conditions for a rupture with its elitist past and the imposition of limits on the government's exercise of power.
