Abstract

In this paper, I present the concept of juristocracy of audience as a political category that indicates a disfiguration concerning the normative ideals of democracy and the rule of law. On the one hand, the category of juristocracy of audience is developed from Hirschl’s analysis and research on what he calls juristocracy, on the other
hand, it is also developed from Urbinati’s concept of plebiscitary democracy. I argue that this category helps us to understand some of the political problems happening in Brazil over the past decade.
