Superior Court Of Justice (Brazil)
The Superior Court of Justice ( pt, Superior Tribunal de Justiça, also known as ''STJ'', ) is the highest appellate court in Brazil for non-constitutional questions of federal law. The STJ also has original jurisdiction over some cases. Its competence is described in Article 105 of the Brazilian Constitution of 1988. A Special Appeal (in Portuguese, ''Recurso Especial'') can be made to this court when a judgement of a court of second instance offends a federal statutory provision or when second instance courts have issued different interpretations of the same federal statute. By rule, the STJ decides only questions of law, not any questions of fact and the probatory elements on the case, about which the Second Instance Courts give the last word. As in other superior courts in Brazil, STJ's justices are called "ministers" ( pt, ministros), not to be confused with ministers from the executive branch. History Prior to late 1988, Brazil had only the Supreme Federal Court The ...

Desembargador
Desembargador is a Portuguese title given to some appellate judges in Portugal, Brazil and other countries influenced by the Portuguese legal tradition. History Historically, the title ''desembargador'' was given to the judges of some of the higher courts of the Kingdom of Portugal and, later, of the Portuguese Empire. ''Desembargadores'' were judges of the ''Desembargo do Paço'' (supreme court), of the House of Supplication (court of appeal for the southern provinces of the Kingdom) and of the several courts of ''relação'' (regional courts of appeal). The first ''Relação'' court was created in Porto by the transformation of the former Civil House court. Additional ''relações'' were later created after in the Portuguese overseas cities of Goa (1544), Salvador da Bahia (1609), Rio de Janeiro (1751), São Luís do Maranhão (1812) and Recife (1821). After the independence of Brazil was won from Portugal in 1822, the title continued to be applied in both countries and in th ...

Judiciary Of Brazil
The Judiciary of Brazil is the group of public entities designated by the Brazilian constitution to carry out the country's judicial functions. Brazil's 1988 constitution has adopted a tripartite separation of powers, with a Legislative power, an Executive power, and a Judiciary power. Aside from those, the country also has the Public Ministry which acts autonomously and has in the past been referred to as the country's fourth branch. In terms of jurisdiction, the main division is between Common Justice ( pt, Justiça Comum) and Specialized Justice ( pt, Justiça Especializada). Common Justice, composed of Federal and State Justices (and the Federal District's own Justice), handles most civil and criminal cases. Specialized Justice, composed of Electoral, Military and Labor Justices, handles more specialized cases which also have their own specific procedures. The Constitution divided the Judiciary in nine organizations: the Supreme Federal Court ( pt, Supremo Tribunal Feder ...
