Sumário:Not all courts are alike (and neither are legislatures) -- The key idea : deliberation -- Why deliberate : Sharing previously unshared information. Attenuating the effects of bounded rationality -- Deliberation in courts : some preliminaries : Collegiality. Deliberation: winning or deciding? Deliberation and aggregation, consensus and majority -- Judicial review in Brazil: a short introduction -- Judicial procedures as obstacles to deliberation : Non-deliberative from the outset: the role of the justice rapporteur. Opinion reading and equality in the deliberation. Time to think, but alone: interrupting the plenary session. Keeping previously unshared information private. Reinforcing bounded rationality -- Judicial practices as obstacles to deliberation : Winning at any cost (or "acting like a lawyer"). Lack of a consensus-oriented interaction and the reasons for the judicial individualism. The downside of extreme publicity. Dissenting and defeated opinions.
