The paper focuses on the role of the Judiciary in two legal systems of the South of the world, namely those of India and Brazil. In the framework of the traditional taxonomies of comparative law, from the public law standpoint, the analysis highlights the existing bond between constitutional justice and the programmatic purposes of the Constitutions of these countries. In order to suggest a reading of judicial activism from a Southern perspective, starting from the notion of “transformative constitutionalism” recently proposed by some scholars, a few judicial remedies – such as the PIL, the ADO and the MI – were studied.

Abstract
The paper focuses on the role of the Judiciary in two legal systems of the South of the world, namely those of India and Brazil. In the framework of the traditional taxonomies of comparative law, from the public law standpoint, the analysis highlights the existing bond between constitutional justice and the programmatic purposes of the Constitutions of these countries. In order to suggest a reading of judicial activism from a Southern perspective, starting from the notion of “transformative constitutionalism” recently proposed by some scholars, a few judicial remedies – such as the PIL, the ADO and the MI – were studied.File in questo prodotto:
