Group proposal

The historical and cultural ties between Brazil and Portugal also mark the constitutional arrangements of the two countries. From the Portuguese Constitution of 1976 and the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, the transition to democracy crystallized, highlighting the promotion of fundamental rights, strengthening of constitutional jurisdiction and changes in institutional relations between the Powers. Here there is fertile ground for the study of in-depth comparative law, identifying points of rapprochement and differences between systems.
The Study Group is coordinated by the Brazilian Institute of Public Law (IDP) and the Public Law Research Center of the Faculty of Law of Lisbon (CIDP) and aims to bring teachers, researchers and students closer to the great Portuguese-Brazilian constitutional debates. There will be the study of contemporary themes of constitutional law and how legislation, jurisprudence and legal academia have dealt with these issues.
Methodology: meetings will be held monthly via videoconference. Professors and researchers will be invited to each meeting to debate topics of common interest to both countries. There may be prior indication of texts for reading. Contact email: victor.marcel@idp.edu.br
