Abstract
Brazil follows the civil law system (Romano Germanic or continental in origin) for which the main source of legal rules are laws in the strict sense. The Federal Constitution of Brazil, in force since 1988, is the supreme rule and is characterized by its rigid written form. Unlike the common law system prevailing in Anglo-Saxon countries, where court precedents have a core role as source of law, in Brazil, legal precedents (case law) are not formal sources of law, although they play an important part in supporting court decisions and assisting in the construction of the law.
