A fé e a toga: a atuação da Associação Nacional de Juristas Evangélicos (ANAJURE) no Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) - 2012 a 2020

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the performance of the National Association of Evangelical Jurists (ANAJURE), in the capacity of amicus curiae, before the Supreme Federal Court (STF), in the context of the 1988 Republican Constitution (CR/88). Founded in 2012, with national and international operations, this association is composed of jurists who are members of the Judiciary, Public Ministry, Public Defender’s Office, Brazilian Bar Association (OAB), Federal and State Prosecutors, professors, and law students of the country. Its motto lies in the “defense of fundamental civil liberties,” especially, religious freedom and freedom of expression. The work has a temporal focus from 2012 to 2020, with the primary objective of understanding how ANAJURE acts and deals, over time, with the Judiciary, especially with the STF, in light of the principles of secularism and religious freedom, safeguarded by the current constitutional order. For this purpose, in addition to bibliographic review, research sources included documents from the association’s virtual collections (activity reports, public notes, opinions, website, social networks, interviews, etc.), and from the STF, especially cases in which ANAJURE has acted as amicus curiae.
