This article analyzes the process of institutional development undergone by Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court during the Vargas Era (1930-1945), by studying the institutional shifts to have taken place during the period. To do so, the work focuses on the significant legislative modifications, the trend toward jurisprudence and the fluctuations in the composition of the Supreme Court. We pay particular attention to the three periods characterizing the Vargas Era: the provisional government, the constitutional one, and finally, the Estado Novo [New State]. We conclude with several brief final considerations on the distinctive features of the Supreme Federal Court’s institutional development in the period under study. It is our aim to contribute to studies on Latin America’s supreme courts from a historical and interdisciplinary perspective.Downloads
