“…Para Palmer (2005), o estudo comparado de direito é um campo difícil e desafiador que requer imersão em linguagem e no contexto sociocultural para afastar visões etnocêntricas e superficiais.…”

Acesso à Justiça e Democracia são temas correlatos, nesse contexto o artigo trata dos sistemas jurídicos nas democracias latino-americanas, o papel atribuído às Defensorias Públicas na região no acesso à justiça e o modelo de estruturação por elas adotados. O trabalho conclui que apesar da mesma nomenclatura, as instituições são distintas em escopo de atuação, prerrogativas, estruturação e missões, destacando as semelhanças e diferenças entre as defensorias dos países que apresentam a maior demanda na região: Brasil, Chile, Peru e Uruguai. Conclui-se que dentre os países analisados a busca pelo serviço público de assistência jurídica somente ocupa, em regra, a quarta posição dentre as opções disponíveis, independente do escopo de atuação, abrangência territorial ou quantidade de profissionais disponíveis e que a maior incidência de resolução de conflitos se dá em autocomposições quando possível. Também como regra os jurisdicionados entendem que o resultado de processos tende a ser justo, a justiça lenta, que os processos não são necessariamente caros e que questões financeiras não são apontadas como dificuldade para resolução do problema.

“…When a functional approach is not appropriate, however, how are we to compare laws or legal systems that are substantially unlike or which seek to address different social problems; and how are we to describe the objects of comparison? Some scholars have advocated the study of ‘law in action’ (Palmer, 2005, p. 264; Reimann, 2002, p. 679); others the study of ‘legal culture’ (Cotterrell, 2006; Nelken, 2007, p. 29). It has been argued that comparative lawyers should study different ‘legal traditions’ (Glenn, 2000; 2006; Menski, 2006; Bussani and Mattei, 2012), ‘legal pluralism’ (Reimann, 2002; Cotterrell, 2006) and ‘globalisation’ (Twining, 2001; 2007), as well as transnational laws.…”

Among the diverse approaches to comparison in socio-legal studies those that employ qualitative research, richness of detail, and attention to context are the focus of this special issue. The Introduction draws on comparative law and social science literature to argue that comparison amongst studies of laws in contexts can follow different trajectories: the comparison may start from an assumption of similarity-in form, purposes, or context-in order to identify significant differences; or it may identify significant similarity across social and cultural divides. What unites many of the projects of comparison undertaken by qualitative empirical researchers is that the points of relevant comparison are identified within the complexity of the empirical studies at hand; and they are allowed to emerge, or change, as the researcher comes to understand the facts and issues more deeply.

“…The methods of comparative law have developed over time and comparatists are always in search of something new (Chodosh, 1999). This is also justified by the fact that there are different categories of people who make use of comparative law: scholars or academic comparatists, legislative or reform comparatists and law-applying comparatists (Palmer, 2005). They can use different methodologies because there are different purposes that the comparison pursues.…”

“…These techniques have thereby acquired the status of separate methods: thus we have historical, functional, evolutionary, structural, thematic, empirical and statistical comparisons, and all of these can be carried out from a micro or macro point of view." Choosing a method is undoubtedly difficult (Palmer, 2005;Reimann, 2004). Annelise Riles brings out that a comparatist engages in comparison with the purpose "to find a model for modernization or to harmonize legal regimes" (Riles, 2001).…”

Comparative Methodology and Pluralism in Legal Comparison in a Global Age

This article grew to look deeper into the relationship between different methodological tools in comparative law enquiries. There are several factors that currently affect these enquiries, such as the emergence of new spheres of normativity and transnational actors determining a new configuration of the relationship between centre and periphery. Different forms and visions of legal pluralism could characterise a cultural tradition and different ways, in which existing nations, which have a pluralistic legal system, interact. Furthermore, one might add the consideration that the presence of different forms of pluralism—a pluralism of pluralisms—implies a constant and urgent need to reconsider the adequacy of the methodologies in comparative law. Hence, we can use different approaches because there are different purposes that the comparison pursues. Though the horizontal comparison is certainly a widespread tendency for comparative analyses, from a methodological point of view, we need to consider the importance of forms of vertical comparison, both a top-down and bottom-up approach
