Deliberation in courts occurs at specific moments. Nevertheless, some pre-deliberation factors may influence the deliberative dynamics. Additionally, the decision-making rules and outcomes may impact future deliberations. This article aims to analyze some of the constraints and consequences of the deliberative practice and decisionmaking process of the Brazilian Supreme Court, such as agenda-setting, principles and methods of constitutional interpretation, system of binding precedents, public hearings, and the relationship between the court and its audience. This is the last of a series of articles that present the results of a research that sought to understand what the justices of the Brazilian Supreme Court themselves think of the deliberative practice and decision-making process of that court.
