Les (dé)règlements de l’inquisitoire : la gestion des conflits et l’organisation de la justice brésilienne dans une perspective comparée

Abstract

The article explores the differences between the way justice is dispensed in Brazil and the way trial hearings are conducted in France. I suggest two distinctions for understanding trial-related judicial practices, with, on the one hand, the emphasis on access to justice through acts and acts of access, and on the other, the organization of judicial hearings in the form of cabinet hearings or in the presence of an audience. Finally, I maintain that Brazilian justice is organized in such a way as to serve the ends of the trial.
