Description:With research in the History of Brazilian Law, and especially in the History of Brazilian Constitutions, with sociological, philosophical and historical methodologies, the program intends to contribute to a critique of current Law, Justice Institutions and Constitution Interpretations. The project intends to investigate methodologies and solutions from other countries, in order to think about the Brazilian reality - and the research that already exists here - to present creative and critical solutions to the challenges of law and its institutions in Brazil. The strengthening of the internationalization activities already practiced does not take the focus of establishing new internationalization strategies. The GP in Law seeks to fill gaps in terms of development and monitoring of the internationalization actions, seeking to understand the impact on the performance of the strategies adopted. The breaking of borders, then customarily thought of internally in the legal community, provides the contact with systems from different countries, leading to a global awareness of the axiological load and citizenship of the members of the educational institution. The promotion is fundamental to the Program's engagement in its active policies rooting international actions. The program, based on its needs and particularities, establishes a plan to optimize access to global knowledge.
