Search engines have evolved from simple text indexing to indexing other forms of media, such as audio and video. I have designed and implemented a web-based system that permits people to search the transcripts of selected Supreme Court cases, and retrieve audio file clips relevant to the search terms. The system development compared two implementation approaches, one based on transcript aligning technologies developed by Hewlett-Packard, the other is a servlet-based search system designed to return pre-parsed audio file clips. While the first approach has the potential to revolutionize audio content search, it could not consistently deliver successively parsed audio file clips with the same user friendly content and speed as the simpler second approach. This web service, implemented with the second approach, is currently deployed and publicly available at www.supremecourtaudio.net .

Full textLower court compliance with the superior courts is now a norm in the judicial system of the United States. This dissertation will examine the development of the Supreme Court's ability to influence the decisions by lower courts. My general theory is that lower court compliance with the Supreme Court became more of a certainty as the federal judicial system developed statutorily, particularly after 1875. I will test the impact that three judicial reforms had (and continue to have) on Supreme Court power over lower courts: the Jurisdiction and Removal Act of 1875, the Judiciary Act of 1891, and the Judges Act of 1925. These reforms, I will argue, added characteristics to the judicial system that help predict compliance, all of which are still present in the system and can be shown to have an effect on compliance in contemporary times. These characteristics include the availability of federal forums for the implementation of constitutional policies, the authoritative communication of Court policies by intermediate courts to trial level courts, and the ability of the Court to select cases that allow it the opportunity to announce clear policy.
To test my theory, I will use a variety of historically important Supreme Court policies and employ a coding scheme for lower court cases to test whether a case presents an instance of compliance or non-compliance with the specific Supreme Court policy.

Full textThis study presents an analysis of the principle of equality and its application by the american Supreme Court and the brazilian Supreme Federal Court. It analyzes, on the one hand, the current test standards adopted by the Supreme Court to apply the principle of equality and, on the other hand, the absence of criteria by the Supreme Federal Court for the same purpose. Among the many measures that have been adopted in the pursuit of the realization of the principle of equality, public policies, among which stands out the quota policy, deserve greater attention. Although, at first, the quota policy may appear to have a good purpose, to look at it more critically, can see that this is a temporary alternative. So another solution must be considered. And since the american Supreme Court's testing standards do not find applicability in the brazilian reality, the best alternative, to the brazilian context, seems to pass for equal opportunities, this fundamental trait of the welfare state, which finds support in the brazilian Federal Constitution. Considering, then, the importance and timeliness of the topic, a study it shows it is always relevant.

Este trabalho pretende contribuir para a compreensão da divisão de competências entre os três poderes consagrados pela Constituição de 1988, a partir do estudo de funções exercidas pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). Indaga-se se existe, atualmente, equivalência entre a função exercida pelo Poder Moderador durante o Império e alguma das funções constitucionalmente designadas aos três poderes da República. Acredita-se que exista uma abertura à tendência moderadora no conjunto de competências do STF, revelada pela jurisprudência da corte. Compreendendo o direito como atividade de construção da ordem jurídica, o estudo alinha-se à vertente das pesquisas jurídico-descritivas. Promove um processo de inferência, não-dedutivo, que considera além dos próprios textos analisados, os respectivos contextos. A oposição entre as formas de governo permite compreender o sentido expansivo do conatus de uma comunidade política que se pretende democrática. O constitucionalismo, sobretudo na sua versão moderna, conhece conformação alternativa à clássica tripartição das funções estatais, na qual o Poder Moderador desponta como elemento central da estabilidade política. A recuperação do passado institucional brasileiro permite compreender tanto a dimensão da concentração do poder de decisão, reinserida no arranjo atual através do sistema de última palavra; quanto a perspectiva antidemocrática que se inscreve na sobredeterminação dos poderes constituídos à prática política não-representativa. A inter-relação entre as diversas matrizes de controle de constitucionalidade torna o sistema brasileiro uma criação singular, de onde despontam tendências moderadoras de marcas schmittianas, ressaltadas pelo dever de autocontenção e pelo discurso competente da corte.
This study intends to analyse the constitutionally established limits to the separation of powers at the federal level, especially with regard to the competencies of Brazilian s Supreme Court (BSC). It is asked whether there is, currently, some equivalence between the tasks of the moderating power during the Brazilian Empire and some of the functions constitutionally assigned to the constituted powers. It is believed that there is an opening to the moderating tendency in the BSC competencies, which is revealed by the court s jurisprudence. Methodologically, the theoretical references here applied consist in a dynamic perspective that distinguishes democracy from monarchy and aristocracy thought a difference of directions. In a democracy the desire to govern is open to fulfilment meanwhile in the other forms of government this desire remains captive. In fact, this methodological approach proposes the reconstruction of a system of analytical concepts based on contemporary constitutional theory in order to understand the role play by the BSC. The Brazilian judicial review system is a unique creation, from which emerge a moderating tendency with autocratic trends, highlighted by the self-restraint duty and the court s competent speech, whereby it calls itself the constitutional authority empowered to arbitrate institutional quarrels, interpreting, above all, its own constitutional competencies.

Full textComo o Supremo Tribunal Federal reconstrói a relação entre Estado e Cidadania no Brasil contemporâneo, especialmente no que diz respeito à democracia nacional? Com apoio em dois modelos teóricos sobre a democracia, o elitismo democrático e os públicos participativos, a dissertação investigou o discurso público produzido pelo STF ao julgar determinados casos, identificando indícios de abuso de poder discursivo pela Corte nos mesmos. O referido abuso de poder discursivo é caracterizado pela influência do marco teórico do elitismo democrático e seu consequente potencial de reproduzir e reforçar desenho institucional servil ao repertório de ação não universalizável da elite política nacional.
How the Brazilian Supreme Court (BSC) reconstructs the relation between State and Citizenship in contemporary Brazil, especially concerning the national democracy? The public discourse manufactured by the BSC whilst deciding certain cases was investigated through the lenses of two theoretical models of democracy, democratic elitism and participatory publics, in search for evidences of discourse power abuse. Such abuse is characterized by the influence of the democratic elitism framework and its potential to reproduce and reinforce an institutional design unable to counteract the problematic action repertoir of the Brazilian political elite.

Full textSince the adoption of the new democratic Constitution of Brazil in 1998, the Supreme Court has played an increasingly significant role within the Brazilian political system. Constantly asked to review the constitutionality of laws, the further extension of its jurisdiction in constitutional law, currently renders the High court a partial legislative body involved, along with the Head of State and Congress, in the formation of general will. In this context, as in all contemporary democracies containing a mechanism of judicial review that guarantees the supremacy of the Constitution, the development of the constitutional justice of Brazil has led to a questioning of classical electoral democracy based on a confusion between the will of the people and that of electected officials. Based on the premise that the functioning of democracy must be understood as reflexive, this thesis proposes to analyze, through the study of the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court, the changes made within the Brazilian democratic system in order to determine if the modifications have resulted in an overtaking of the traditional democratic model that has given rise to a democracy called « reflexive »

PROGRAMA DE SUPORTE À PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO DE INSTS. DE ENSINO
É comum tratarmos grupos como agentes capazes de interagir intencionalmente com o mundo e, para identificar mentes de grupos, usamos os mesmos mecanismos de percepção de mente em outras pessoas. No caso de cortes, a expressão de seus julgamentos coletivos pode variar de acordo com o grau de liberdade que elas permitem a seus membros. Elas podem publicar uma decisão única, restringindo a publicidade do processo deliberativo (per curiam) ou, ao invés de uma opinião coletiva da corte, podem publicar o conjunto de votos individuais de seus membros (seriatim). Nesse último caso, a identificação dos posicionamentos coletivos da corte pode ser difícil. Esta tese sustenta que, por conta de suas decisões seriatim, o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) diminui sua entitatividade, o que torna suas razões para decidir difíceis de serem identificadas e limita sua capacidade de uniformizar a jurisprudência nacional através de seus precedentes. No primeiro capítulo, este trabalho trata das condições teóricas para a possibilidade de atitudes intencionais de grupos. Há duas possíveis maneiras de se especificar a natureza da intencionalidade de grupo: uma que se baseia na disposição dos membros do grupo de adotarem a perspectiva coletiva e outra que aponta para a capacidade dos membros de agirem racionalmente enquanto grupo. Da perspectiva de um observador, a noção de mente de grupo exige outras condições. O segundo capítulo especifica as formas como a discussão sobre intencionalidade de grupo podem ser aplicadas à prática judicial. Dependendo da forma como a corte apresenta suas decisões, pode ser que as suas razões motivadoras não sejam claramente distinguíveis das razões endossadas apenas pelos membros individualmente. No terceiro capítulo, é indicado como isso interessa a cortes como o STF, que lidam com questões politicamente controversas, mas que precisam demonstrar capacidade de agir motivadas por razões para que seus precedentes sejam respeitados. Ao optar por publicar decisões seriatim, a corte indica abertura à diversidade de opiniões, reduzindo a sua aparência de entidade coesa. Como consequência, as razões coletivamente aceitas para decidir não são claramente apresentadas. O último capítulo lida com pesquisas psicológicas recentes, que indicam que uma condição para a atribuição de intencionalidade a um grupo é que ele tenha alta entitatividade. Ações coordenadas e objetivos em comum entre os membros aumentam a entitatividade de um grupo e o torna mais propenso a ser reconhecido como um agente.
It is common that we treat groups as agents capable of interacting intentionally with the world. To identify group minds, we use the same mechanisms we use in the perception of the minds of other individuals. In the case of judicial courts, the expression of their collective judgments may vary in accordance with the degree of freedom they allow their members. The courts may publish a single decision, maintaining their deliberative process secret (per curiam) or, instead of an opinion of the court, may publish the set of its members individual opinions (seriatim). In the latter case, identifying the court s collective judgment can be challenging. This dissertation argues that, due to its seriatim decisions, the Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) diminishes its entitativity, making the reasons behind its decisions harder to identify and hindering its ability to standardize national judicial decision-making through its precedents. The first chapter deals with the theoretical conditions for the possibility of group intentional states. There are two possible ways to specify the nature of this kind of intentionality: one that is based on the group members willingness to adopt the collective perspective (the collective acceptance model), and one that points to the members ability to act rationally as a group (the social choice approach). From an observer s perspective, the notion of a group mind demands other conditions. The second chapter specifies the ways in which the discussion of group intentionality could be applied to judicial practice. Depending on the ways in which the court presents its decisions, it could be that its motivating reasons are not clearly distinguishable from the reasons endorsed individually by its group members. The third chapter establishes how this is relevant for courts like the STF, which deal with politically controversial issues, but which need, also, to demonstrate the ability to act motivated by reasons for its precedents to be respected. By choosing to publish seriatim decisions, the court privileges openness to a diversity of positions over its entitativity. As a consequence, the collectively accepted reasons are not clearly stated. The last chapter deals with recent psychological research that suggest that one condition for group intentionality inference is that the group possess high entitativity. Coordinated actions and common goals among members increase the group s entitativity and make it more likely to be seen as an agent.
