Terms definitions

1. ↑ jurisprudence. Case law is the systematic study of legal principles and judicial decisions, originating in Roman law and developing through English common law. It encompasses the interpretation and application of laws by the courts, serving to fill legal gaps and adapt to contemporary societal needs. Judicial decisions provide critical guidance for legal practice, with specialised databases helping lawyers navigate complex legal landscapes. While laws have broader application and are created through legislative processes, court decisions offer specific interpretations and precedents within a given jurisdiction. The discipline plays a crucial role in understanding legal customs, resolving disputes and ensuring consistent judicial reasoning. Modern jurisprudence relies on technological solutions to categorise and analyse court decisions, enabling more efficient legal research and interpretation.

2. ↑ regulations. Regulations are normative acts issued by the executive branch, characterised by abstraction, generality and imperativeness. They serve to detail higher normative acts and are mainly limited by constitutional and legal frameworks. Classifications include regulatory, delegated, autonomous and independent types, ranging in scope from internal administrative effects to external general effects. They can be spontaneous or provoked, and cover various levels of governmental competence, including federal, state, municipal and territorial. Autonomous regulations directly explain the Constitution and constitute primary normative acts, while independent regulations also interpret constitutional provisions. The principle of legality prevails in contemporary constitutional systems, ensuring that regulations operate within defined legal limits. Academic work by authors such as Francisco, Leal and Velloso has contributed to understanding the complex nature and function of regulatory mechanisms.
