Dissertação (Mestrado em Direito, Políticas Públicas e Desenvolvimento Regional) - Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará, Belém, 2014.https://repositorio.cesupa.br/handle/prefix/451Gradually, we see the closeness between the legal systems of common law tradition and the civil law tradition, a true fusion occurring between these traditions. In other words, increasingly we see continental law working with judicial precedents and common law allocating matters to be regulated by laws or codes. The Brazil, despite unquestionably being a country of civil law tradition, each day begins to give more importance to judicial precedents, however, apparently without concern for the consolidation of institutions and mechanisms underlying a theory of judicial precedent. In this context and based on the democratic rule of law and concern for the protection and enforcement of fundamental rights of the democratic state and the containment of state arbitrariness, especially the arbitrariness in the Judiciary, we will seek to answer the question of whether the incorporation of a theory of judicial precedents in the Brazilian legal system corresponds to mere procedural technique, which may or may not be present in the legal system, aiming, among others, to speed up the judicial or corresponds to democratic requirement in the rule of law and has significant role in the system legal, independently of legal theory adopted, considering that these always relate to a theory of legal argument, which is anchored to some degree on a theory of judicial precedent. To do this, this paper will be the bibliographic research, among which the analysis of the works of Ronald Dworkin and Neil MacCormick, especially with regard to their contributions to the development of legal arguments in the context of judicial precedent.Acesso AbertoAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Estado Democrático de DireitoPrecedentes judiciaisDireito fundamentalCommon lawCivil lawCIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADASDissertação
