Abstract

This scientific paper discusses, starting from a literary context, the effects of the movement for uniformity of trial in the Brazilian legal system, attempting to show the need for a legal argument that is substantially democratic, conducted via an adversarial process, symmetric in terms of opportunities and that pushes to the background the fetish of legal certainty for the sake of the effectiveness and efficiency of decisions in the framework of the democratic rule of law and in the light of the fundamental rights and guarantees. For the development of this research project, the inductive method was used, including the techniques of operational concepts and literature.

Key words: Dostoievski, uniform trials, Decision Theory.
