Constitutional jurisdiction

transmission of the judgments of the Supreme Federal Court and the deprestigy of collegiality

Abstract

The present study addresses how television broadcasts of the Supreme Court's judgment sessions, and what are the effects judged by the judged members, since they are aware of the publicity of their acts, as well as the effects that this external advertising has on collegiality. The present research is justified by the current scenario in which the Brazilian Judiciary's top body finds itself, amid news, scandals, and overexposure to common sense. The general objective is to analyze the Federal Supreme Court, and the principle of collegiality in its judgments, and as specific objectives, to address constitutional jurisdiction, to analyze collegiality as a principle, to analyze the effects of live transmissions of the Court's deliberations, and for finally, to verify the real need for live transmissions of the judgments by the Court. Then, we move on to an analysis of the collegiality principle, as a principle that gives greater legal certainty to decisions. Finally, we proceeded to analyze the deleterious effects of the transmission of the clashes about the topics discussed in judgment sessions. Concluding with a constructive criticism, and a possible suggestion to alleviate the negative effects about the advertising externalized to the television media.
