Social Laws and Justice - The north-american experience
Keywords:
Justiça social, Poder judiciário, Direitos sociais.Abstract
This paper is intended to make a comparative analysis of the ways in which the American Judicial branch has dealt with distributive matters, public policies and social rights. I begin with a reference to the critical analysis made on the involvemente of courts with issues traditionally left to the Legislative and Executive branches. I continue by studying three paradigmatic cases brought to court in this century: the monetary reforms of Roosevelt, the psychiatric hospitals of Alabama and the immigration policies of the 90s. I end with a short note on the most noticeable differences with the Brazilian case.
