Portuguese Abstract: John Ferejohn traz um conjunto de ideias que visam demonstrar a dependencia do Poder Judiciario as esferas politica e social, por outro lado, busca caracterizar a independencia do Juiz enquanto pessoa moral autonoma. O Autor foca na caracterizacao e na elucidacao da estrutura que serve de protecao institucional aos Juizes e ao Poder Judiciario Federal dos Estados Unidos da America. A visao autoral contrapoe a ideia de que o Poder Judiciario seja independente e, portanto, isolado dos grupos de pressao, do povo e dos demais poderes. Neste sentido, o Autor investiga as inter-relacoes do Judiciario com os organismos vivos da sociedade, os demais Poderes e mesmo com os proprios orgaos judiciais. Assim, divide a atuacao judicial em dois ambientes: o humano afeto aos Juizes e o institucional, Poder ocupado pelos Magistrados. A conclusao de Ferejohn se ampara na posicao de que o sistema americano de Juizes independentes dentro de um sistema judiciario dependente nao fornece protecao para o Poder Judiciario que permanece dependente da vontade dos Poderes Eleitos em funcao da estabilidade do sistema judicial e politico. English Abstract: John Ferejohn brings a set of ideas that aim to demonstrate the dependence of the judiciary to the political and social spheres, on the other hand, seeks to characterize the independence of the judge as an autonomous moral person. The author focuses on the characterization and elucidation of the structure that serves as an institutional protection of Judges and the Federal Judiciary of the United States of America. The authorial vision contradicts the idea that the judiciary is independent and therefore insulated from pressure groups, the people and the other powers. In this sense, the author investigates the interrelationships of the judiciary with the living organisms of society, the other branches and even the courts themselves. So divide judicial action in two environments: human affection to the Judges and institutional power occupied by Magistrates. The conclusion is supported by Ferejohn that the American system of independent judges within a dependent judiciary does not provide protection for the judiciary which remains dependent on the will of the Powers Elect according to the stability of the legal and political system position.
