STF welcomes articles for second edition of Suprema - Revista de Estudos Constitucionais
The Federal Supreme Court (STF) is accepting articles for the second edition of Suprema - Revista de Estudos Constitucionais, an academic journal recently launched by the Court.

Those interested will have until 11:59 p.m. on August 23rd (Brasília time) to submit an article.
The second edition aims to promote reflection on the role played by institutions during the health crisis and the governance strategies adopted to maintain the performance of their duties. There were many needs to reconfigure the way institutions functioned, in terms of managing their staff, adapting their structures and providing their services and duties in the context of the pandemic.
Against this backdrop, the dossier to be launched aims to bring together unpublished articles and translations of previously published texts that analyze and discuss the work of institutions in this period experienced by Brazil and other countries.
