THE PERFORMANCE OF THE JUDICIARY AND THE GREENING OF THE SUPREME COURT

Abstract

The work examines the performance of the Judiciary, more precisely the phenomenon of judicial activism in the context of the Democratic Rule of Law, addressing the importance of the judge's actions in implementing constitutional principles. The study highlights that this action today appears to be complex, due to the great openness and mobility of the legal system. From the observation of the relevance of judicial activism, the work proposes to analyze whether this phenomenon can contribute to the sustainability goals proposed by the State. Verifying the existence of different nuances of sustainability, we will seek to demonstrate that sustainability does not end in content devoid of normativity, on the contrary, it can be understood as a general and systemic principle, guiding judicial decisions. In this sense, it will be argued that the judge's actions today must be politicized and connected to the satisfaction of the objectives of a State committed to implementing the principle of sustainability.
