Jurisprudência

Jurisprudência refers to the body of legal decisions and interpretations made by courts that shape how laws are applied. It serves as a guiding framework for judges and legal practitioners, ensuring consistency and stability in legal rulings over time. Essentially, jurisprudência reflects the collective understanding of legal principles based on previous case law, helping to resolve similar issues in future cases. It is an important component of the legal system, complementing written laws (like statutes) and contributing to the development of the law through judicial reasoning.
