Despite the farofas, improprieties and omnipotence of some ministers of the , perhaps this is the time to give a .
With the 1988 Constitution, the opportunity to transform the Supreme Court into a constitutional court was lost. This was also due to the interest of some ministers who, with the change, would lose power. Result: the Supreme Court became a fourth instance, receiving trivial disputes and accumulating superpowers that resulted in what happened.
A series of circumstances and ambitions brought the STF to center stage, an unprecedented and unnecessary problem.
The Supreme is the top of an ill-fitting pyramid. No judiciary functions properly with 80 million cases being processed and 35 million new cases every year. This results in an overload that is metabolized into.
The clown Tiririca was wrong: what goes wrong will get worse.
Mariz, 55 years of law
Lawyer Antônio Cláudio Mariz de Oliveira launches on Thursday, in his office in São Paulo, the book “Casos e causos – The trajectory of a defender”. There are 55 years of law in 272 pages and 50 cases.
It has everything. The poor woman who kills her partner who molested her daughter (acquitted). As an assistant prosecutor, Mariz sentenced children who killed their mother, saw the Supreme Court minister mistreating a lawyer and prosecutors more interested in accusing than in seeking justice. All this and yet another reference to the defense of Princess Caroline of Monaco, offended by a nobleman from São Paulo.
In seven pages, Mariz tells his most repercussion case, the defense of the former president, in 2017. The two share “a friendship that spans half a century”. The former attorney general comes out badly in the episode, with his famous phrase “as long as there is bamboo, there go arrows”.
Mariz criticizes the treatment given to the businessman: “The existence of a series of interruptions and hiatuses in the recording was pointed out”. With Mariz’s defense, the Chamber of Deputies rejected Janot’s complaint. This case is called “In Defense of a Friend”.
“Casos e Causas” reviews 55 years of work by a lawyer who is happy with his life. His characters are flesh and blood, but Mariz paints passages with criticism and praise for the functioning of the Judiciary. It’s a crash course in law.
