Abstract

This study seeks to rethink the problem of rationality and legitimacy of judicial decisions under the contributions of legistics, revealing useful for a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of the creative power of Judiciary and inaugurating a new approach that prioritizes the questioning about the proper role of legistics (no longer limited to study methods). Bearing in mind impact assessment and from an “hermeneutical point of view”, we hold that legistics decisively contributes to an adequate delineation of the juspolitical function performed by courts, helping to establish the duties of constituted Powers and the current role of Judiciary and Legislative, without disregarding the responsibility of legislators when drafting normative propositions that do not produce the expected effects.
