Resumo: The present study investigates the construction of effects of sense of justice in Hollywood movies, more specifically those that have as main plot courtroom trials. The relevance of the work surfaces from the influence that the cultural production, directed towards the mass exerts has in the setting of ideologies and the maintenance of the legal institutions as source of coordination of the conviviality in society.

By the film analyses, for the effect of sense of justice, the category of just must became a evidence of the truth inside the legal procedure. Moreover, it was observed that, independent of the effect of sense of justice enunciated in the basic level, the values that the social ordinance always keeps are gifts
