FMP Research Lines
The academic research conducted at FMP is organized around two broad lines, which guide scientific projects, research groups, and institutional events. Both are aligned with the Institution's mission of promoting the enforcement of non-negotiable rights and strengthening the Democratic Rule of Law.
FMP's research lines engage with contemporary, structural issues in Brazilian Law, ranging from State action to the protection of collective rights, always focused on social transformation, institutional improvement, and the building of legal solutions that meet society's needs.
Research Lines
Line 1: Protection for the Enforcement of Unconditioned Public Rights
This line focuses on studying and proposing legal mechanisms that ensure the protection of public rights that cannot be waived or relaxed. Projects linked to this line investigate topics such as:
Public policies aimed at promoting citizenship and access to justice
The role of the Public Prosecutor's Office and other institutions essential to justice
Corruption and institutional pathologies
Defense of the environment and diffuse interests
Public safety and the fight against crime
The central focus of this line is the pursuit of effectiveness for rights that require the presence and action of public authorities, whether in policy-making or in oversight and social control.
Line 2: Protection for the Enforcement of Transindividual Rights
The second research line is dedicated to the study of rights that transcend individual interest, involving communities, vulnerable groups, or society as a whole. Priority topics include:
Sustainability and collective environmental defense
Conflicts and collisions between fundamental rights in the collective sphere
Transparency, the right to information, and social control
Protection of consumer rights and consumer relations
Democratic participation and the strengthening of civil society
This line broadens the scope of legal analysis to include complex issues that call for collective, multidisciplinary approaches and institutional responsibility.
Participation and Operation
FMP's research lines are open to the participation of undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and outside researchers linked to the Institution's research groups. Each project linked to these lines contributes to the Institution's academic education and scientific development, while promoting critical debate and the improvement of legal practices.
