In the midst of an unprecedented crisis at the Supreme Federal Court (STF), seven jurists were consulted by GLOBO to evaluate possible paths for the Court to recover its institutional image. The crisis took on more serious contours after the Court scheduled a session on Tuesday to decide whether to open for the first time an investigation against one of its own members.
The jurists consulted by the media outlet point out that transparency and speed in judgment are crucial for the STF to reinforce its credibility before society. The need to establish a clear code of conduct for the ministers was also mentioned as one of the possible measures to reestablish trust in the institution.
Monocratic decisions made by ministers individually were also cited by the experts as a point that needs to be reconsidered, since this practice may contribute to the perception of institutional fragility of the court. The way the STF handles the specific case of investigation against one of its members will be decisive for the future of the Court.
