Description
Summary:This paper aims to address the influence of some common law institutes in the creation of a stare decisis system in the Brazilian law, within the context of the information society. Therefore, the main differences between a civil law and a common law are analyzed, including historical terms, and it is concluded that institutes such as certionari stare decisis, distinguishing and overruling were now incorporated in the rules of Brazilian civil procedure. The advantages of adopting the stare decisis (isonomy, legal security, impersonality and rationality in the use of the Judiciary) are also analysed. In terms of methodology, this is a theoretical study, with predominance of the qualitative method of data analysis and results, being as conclusions essentially obtained by the use of induction.
