Tais procedimentos tiveram seus contornos desenhados na prática judicial, e sua construção vinculou-se a um contexto mais geral de “modernização” institucional e jurídica.Editora FGV2016-07-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/61242Revista Estudos Históricos; Vol. 29 No. 58 (2016): Law, History and Social Sciences; 339-360Revista Estudos Históricos; v. 29 n. 58 (2016): Direito, História e Ciências Sociais; 339-3602178-14940103-2186reponame:Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/61242/61259Copyright (c) 2016 Revista Estudos Históricosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPaes, Mariana Armond Dias2019-10-11T15:06:40Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/61242Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rehONGhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/oai||biblioteca.digital@fgv.br||eh@fgv.br2178-14940103-2186opendoar:2024-03-06T13:02:01.705525Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
