Em recente artigo publicado nesta revista, Danilo dos Santos Almeida e Andre Martins Bogossian defenderam interessante tese sobre o papel do ministro relator como unificador das razões de decidir dos acórdãos do Supremo Tribunal Federal. Em boa medida, o artigo dialoga com trabalho de minha autoria, também publicado nesta revista. Nesta breve réplica, pretendo mostrar que, a despeito dos bons argumentos de Almeida e Bogossian, estou convencido de que, ao menos no que diz respeito às decisões mais importantes do STF, a relevância que eles dão ao voto do ministro relator é exagerada. Embora o voto do relator seja de fato aquele que fornece as razões de decidir nos casos corriqueiros e repetitivos, até porque nesses casos muitas vezes o voto do relator é a única peça escrita e articulada, isso não é necessariamente verdade nas decisões mais importantes do STF. |

O objetivo deste texto é apresentar uma brevíssima história do pensamento constitucional do Brasil no século XX. É possível afirmar que a história desse pensamento constitucional é também a história do pensamento político-institucional do país. Mas essa coincidência é apenas parcial. Do início do século XX (na verdade, desde a independência, em 1822) até 1945, pensamento constitucional e pensamento político (ou político-institucional) são expressões em grande medida coincidentes. Não é à toa que os principais constitucionalistas desse período são, ao mesmo tempo, os principais pensadores das instituições políticas brasileiras. Após 1945, no entanto, há um progressivo distanciamento entre o pensamento político-institucional e pensamento constitucional, e isso por várias razões. Uma delas é o fato de que, durante o primeiro período apontado, a principal (e às vezes única) formação acadêmica disponível no país era a formação jurídica. Mas o simples aumento das possibilidades de formação acadêmica não parece ser uma razão suficiente para explicar a gradual diminuição do papel dos juristas no debate político-institucional. Algumas das razões para essa diminuição de papel serão analisadas ao longo deste texto. |

No Supremo Tribunal Federal, o papel do ministro relator não foi ainda objeto de estudo mais detido. A percepção mais difundida é a de que o ministro relator, por ser o ministro que mais se ocupa do caso, teria papel preponderante. Estatísticas mostram que o relator costuma ser seguido na esmagadora maioria das decisões do STF. Mas, para além dos números, pouco se sabe qual é a influência do relator e de seu voto no processo de deliberação nos casos mais polêmicos, que chamam mais a atenção tanto da comunidade jurídica quanto do grande público e da imprensa.

Por un lado, en el ámbito normativo, Brasil tiene la regulación sobre matrimonio y unión de hecho más específica en lo que se refiere al género de todos los países aquí analizados. Por otro lado, en el ámbito institucional, Brasil es el único país en el cual el poder legislativo fue completamente ignorado durante todo el proceso. Si el STF hubiese tomado en serio el valor del texto legal y de las instituciones, el desenlace probablemente habría sido mucho mejor para la Corte en sí, para el Congreso, para la sociedad civil como un todo y especialmente para las parejas de mismo género, que aún hoy no tienen los mismos derechos atribuidos a las parejas de género diferente. |

Thirdly, I argue that, because continuum theories are divorced from legal and legislative vocabulary, they are useless to serve as basis for legal or legislative decisions.},

Initially, what is at stake is the analysis of the connection between comparing values (or principles) and commensurability. The results of this initial analysis were then used to provide greater analytical strength to the specific debate on balancing and comparing rights in order to show that incommensurability does not imply incomparability and that rational decisions are possible even when incommensurable values are at stake. Since balancing (and proportionality) implies comparisons, and since constitutional principles are doubtlessly incommensurable (for there is no common metric to measure them), arguing for the comparability of incommensurable principles is an unavoidable step if one aims at demonstrating that balancing may be a rational procedure after all.},

Este artigo tem como objetivo narrar uma experiência concreta com aulas participativas. O que se pretende é, entre outras coisas, demonstrar que nem sempre são necessárias reformulações radicais na metodologia do ensino jurídico para que resultados positivos sejam alcançados. Algumas das formas tradicionais de ensino - no caso em questão, os seminários - às vezes não produzem os efeitos desejados, por deficiências no planejamento ou por reproduzirem vícios do ensino jurídico, como: Ensino não participativo; foco no argumento de autoridade; muita exposição e pouco debate; falta de incentivo a posturas críticas etc. A reprodução desses vícios, aliada ao fato de que, nos seminários, muitas vezes o professor está ausente, parece-nos ser a causa da percepção generalizada de que aulas de seminários são uma forma menos importante de aprendizado. Nossa experiência tem demonstrado que esse cenário pode ser muito diferente, se alguns cuidados forem tomados. |
