Abstract

This text comments briefly on José Reinaldo de Lima Lopes' article "Brazilian legal culture in the XIX Century: the role of the Council of State (Division of affairs of justice)" and raises some hypotheses towards understanding the judicial production of the Justice Division of the State Council. The questions pointed here explore some relations between the institutions of the Empire, the process of State construction and the judicial production as the result of a conflict of interests and of the power relations and subordination that marked the imperial society.
