In 2015, ministers Luiz Fux and Luís Felipe Salomão received fees by lectures to explain the changes in the Code of Civil Procedure. Fux and Solomon were members of the Federal Senate Civil Procedure Reform Commission.

The columnist deals with the book “The Reform of the Civil Code”, which Senator Rodrigo Pacheco organized, from the draft prepared by Commission presided by Solomon (the minister wrote the introduction of the book).
Pacheco presented the bill on the last day as president of the Senate.
In 2015, he invited the ministers Fux and Solomon to a one -hour lecture, offering $ 40,000 as compensation for each one.
In an act in the Official Gazette, the ministers were cited as hired by Codemig (Minas Gerais Economic Development Company, a public company controlled by the State of Minas) to give a lecture in Minascentro.
The event was promoted by the State Secretariat of the Civil House and Institutional Relations and the General Advocacy of the State, in partnership with the Faculty of Law of UFMG.
The then secretary of the Civil House of Minas Gerais, Marco Antonio Rezende, said that “a calculation of what is normally paid for speakers or lecturers at this level” was made.

Here’s what Pacheco wrote on Instagram:
“The work, of which I had the honor of being the organizer, contains a collection of analysis and reflections of members of the jurist commission, responsible for making the draft up update of the Civil Code, and which had been installed by me, in the position of Senate President, in August 2023.”
“The book is compiled from the technical, scientific work of those who collaborated with the draft. And I was very happy, on my last day as president of the Senate, to have presented PL 4/2025, which deals with the update of the Civil Code of Brazil and which was based on the work of the committee.”
“With the work, we have no pretense, on our part, to exercise an alleged intransigence.”
“This is a work that will be done by Congress. And this book represents an initial milestone of debates with civil society, with institutions, with the legal community about the bill.”
