Resumo

After four administrations, a recent analysis of work by Brazilian National Council of Justice concludes that the glass dome has cracked, since inertia has been broken and taboos have been challenged, thereby injecting new energy into judiciary system's leading role through its integration into public arena. This break developed from an institutional design built under Constitutional Amendment 45/2004, which assigns an external oversight role to Council, contours of which have been constructed through its agenda-building, composition of its membership, and possibilities in its decision-making process. These three dimensions help explain Council's role in current architecture of Brazilian judiciary and shed light on debates over its scope of action.
