A jurisprudência é o estudo sistemático dos princípios jurídicos e decisões judiciais, originando-se no roman law[1] e desenvolvendo-se através do law[3] comum inglês. Engloba a interpretação e aplicação das leis pelos tribunais, servindo para preencher lacunas legais e adaptar-se às necessidades societais contemporâneas. As decisões judiciais fornecem orientação crítica para a prática jurídica, com bases de dados especializadas ajudando os advogados a navegar em paisagens jurídicas complexas. Enquanto as leis têm aplicação mais ampla e são criadas através de processos legislativos, as decisões judiciais oferecem interpretações específicas e precedentes dentro de uma determinada jurisdiction[2]. A disciplina desempenha um papel crucial na compreensão dos costumes[4] jurídicos, na resolução de disputas e na garantia de um raciocínio judicial consistente. A jurisprudência moderna baseia-se em soluções tecnológicas para categorizar e analisar decisões judiciais, possibilitando uma investigação e interpretação jurídica mais eficiente.

1. roman law. Roman law encompassed legal rules developed in Rome and its empire from 449 BC to 530 AD, evolving through four main periods. Initially nationalistic and linked to religious practices, it gradually became more universal and complex. The Twelve Tablets, Rome's first written legal text, marked a critical transition from customary law to codified law, addressing procedures, judgements and property rights. Under Justinian, significant legal compilations such as the Corpus Juris Civilis were created, integrating Greek legal concepts and imperial constitutions. Roman law profoundly influenced legal systems in Europe and Latin America, establishing fundamental principles of private and public law. Its legacy includes the development of legal professionalism, jurisprudence and structures to harmonise legal standards, making it a crucial model for understanding legal systems historically and contemporarily.
2. jurisdiction. Jurisdiction is the legal authority to administer justice and resolve conflicts, traditionally associated with the judiciary but now encompassing various governmental bodies. It involves principles such as impartiality, inevitability and inertia, with characteristics including mandatory and universal application. Jurisdiction can be voluntary (administrative) or contentious (aimed at social pacification), and is not limited to court proceedings. Alternative methods of conflict resolution such as mediation and arbitration exist alongside court proceedings. The concept is fundamental to civil procedure, involving conditions of action such as legitimate interest and the possibility of redress. Key aspects include the power to determine legal issues, the ability to substitute the will of the parties and providing effective judicial protection as a fundamental right.
