The purpose of this article is to examine and provide a theoretical and analytical support for legal research. To this end, an exploratory research was carried out that investigated the tool "illegalisms" and its possible contributions as a category of analysis to define and explain the normative problems and the performance of the judiciary in modern times. The main reference is Foucault, whose reading was done in parallel with Delleuze's contributions on Foucault. Significant contributions were also made from the readings of Rusche and Kirchheimer on the debate. After examining this possibility, a valid analysis category will be established for studies on the performance of the Brazilian judiciary. Finally, it is a bibliographic, exploratory, theoretical and analytical research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to discuss specificities about the implementation of politics to democratize the access to justice in Brazil, having as background the liberal and social paradigms of acess and the construction of the welfare state in the brazilian context. Furthermore, we will try to demonstrate that, as a reflect of the problematic structure of the welfare state in Brazil, the judiciary assumes the role of a social and political "engineer" in its jurisdictional and administrative functions. The Judiciary and the Public Attorney's Office have the monopoly on politics to increase the democratic access to justice, which constitutes an obstacle to its social control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study was to identify, the main positions regarding the constitutionality of the Maria da Penha law (Law 11340/2006) in the Brazilian judicial system. As a result of political demands of the Brazilian feminist movement, the law has been at issue in the public sphere, and its constitutionality before the Supreme Federal Court has been pursued. The following issues were identified: i) a questioning of the law as a whole, considering its distinguished treatment of women, ii) a questioning of the law in that it precludes the enforcement of Law 9099/95; iii) the legislative competence to define petty crimes, iv) the support for subjection of the Judicial Branch and v) the constitutionality of law without background reasoning. By examining the arguments used in Courts of Justice, we intend to demonstrate how the establishment of the law is not limited to the legislative act, and the Judiciary can be the stage for disputes.
