Social and state corporatism: Attorvey General Statute and a proposal for the Republic Attorvey General

Abstract

This paper intends to discuss the concepts of representation and legitimacy by reference to the Democratic Principle. It criticizes the brazilian Public Attorney Statute and proposes the idea of an institution, called "Defensoria-Geral da Justiça", on develloping the idea of a societal consciousness. By giving suggestions to increase the legal definition of the judicial power, it demonstrates the necessity to the society to be aware of the education of the legal professionals. Otherwise it demonstrates the need to modificate the statute of some constitutional remedies and guarantees.
