[We have the following announcement.]
On
September 2nd, 2016, FGV Law School in Rio de Janeiro will release
volumes 11 to 15 of its Oral History of the Brazilian Supreme Court
project - in cooperation with
FGV Law School São Paulo and CPDOC - FGV's History and Social Sciences
Department.
The
project has interviewed 20 former and current Supreme Court justices
about their lives, careers, path towards the Court, and most important
cases. It is a unique historical
record to study Brazilian legal elites, the late 1980s transition from
military dictatorship to democracy, the Supreme Court's recent history,
etc.
So
far, the project has produced almost 100 hours of interviews. Books
with each interview are also published. But everything is available
online, licenced in Creative
Commons, open access to everyone. . . .
On
September 2nd, the interviews with justices Luís Roberto Barroso, Luiz
Fux, Ilmar Galvão, Moreira Alves and Francisco Rezek will be made
available. The justices, in
addition to justices Nelson Jobim (who also coordinated the project)
and Eros Grau, will be at FGV Rio's Cultural Center at 11 am, discussing
the Supreme Court's history. The event is open to the public.
