Abstract
The objective of this exploratory paper is to identify the patterns of Judiciary decisions in relation to farmers’ property rights considering the demand for indigenous land demarcation in the Midwest region of Brazil. In order to accomplish this task, the authors build and analyze a specific database composed of cases decided by the Federal Court (TRF-3), the branch of the Brazilian Judiciary responsible to decide on cases related to conflicts between indigenous and land owners. Results indicate that in recent times the Brazilian courts have modified its patterns of decisions (i.e., shift in the jurisprudence), which may increase uncertainties among the agents.
