Brazilian Judicial Power

political indications and their impacts

Abstract

The present study intends to present a complex theme that is, reality in the Brazilian legal system, the so-called political indications. In this way, we seek to bring the discussion about the political indications for the occupation of positions in the judiciary and the possible impacts caused in the Democratic State of Law. Depending on this situation, such an institute has a Constitutional provision, however, it is much debated, and not everyone sees it as a coherent practice. In other words, for many, these political indications have a subjective character, not taking into account admission through competition of tests and titles. Thus, the objective of this article is to discuss what is meant by political indications, their amplitude in the legal system, and their reflexes in the Democratic State of Law, a political system adopted in Brazil and established in the Federal Constitution of 1988.
