Overview

  • Luiz Fux took part in his first ordinary session of the Supreme Court’s Second Panel on November 11, handling three constitutional complaints.
  • Two cases contest the exclusion of women from military public exams in Goiás, and a third addresses state civil liability and the force of binding STF precedents.
  • The Second Panel now comprises Gilmar Mendes as president, plus Dias Toffoli, Nunes Marques, André Mendonça and Fux.
  • Gilmar Mendes welcomed Fux with a speech criticizing Lava Jato–era practices and emphasizing the panel’s role in safeguarding fundamental guarantees.
  • Uncertainty persists over whether Fux’s relatorship of Bolsonaro’s appeal stays in the First Panel under prevention or shifts panels, with ministers assessing a reversal of the TSE ruling as unlikely even if the venue changes.
