Teenagers who break the law in Brazil are summoned to explain to in the Court, the reasons for their actions. They use certain elements, speeches and logics to persuadethe audience - especially the Judge - that the transgressions they were involved into
have legitimated motivations. The present article studies such Justification assembled
by girls who broke the law in São Gonçalo, a municipality in the province of Rio de
Janeiro. Our main objective is to demonstrate how the Court’s decision depends on
evidences raised by the youth. Cases held in the Court of Children and Youth of the
city were analyzed. The documents highlight the discourse as well as other elements
and objects the commission raised during the trials. Confronting both ways of (re-
) construction of facts and versions it’s possible to understand the forms of
legitimization of each Justification process and which role they play in determining
the socio-educational sentence applied to the girls.
