The formal incorporation of precedents to Brazilian legal system marks the reencounter of the legal traditions that formed it since the Republic origins, making it part civil law, part common law. The 2015 Civil Procedural Code, a Code developed by jurisprudence and welcomed by legislators, redeem common law’s influence over Brazilian Law and promises an uniform, stable, integrate and coherent body of case law, be it either for the well development of law itself and to rationalize access to judiciary service. Despite the Code’s seven-year in effect, litigation rates seam stable though. Brazilian legal culture doesn’t look ready to deal with precedential institutes, keeps applying excerpts of case law as if it were statutes, worsening the gap between judiciary practice and the foundation of its legal and democratic legitimacy. And supreme courts resist in reviewing the improper application of precedents by ordinary courts, transforming the maxim treating like cases alike an inconsequential codified promise. This attitude does not allow the consolidation of stare decisis, which in Brazil, historically, is stillborn. New Code’s precedents may be normative and formally binding, but they are not pragmatically normative nor pragmatically binding yet. By analyzing the binding precedents theory under the combined lights of the linguistic turn, logical-semantical constructivism’s norm theory, the theory of source of law as its enunciation, and law as integrity theory, this paper aims to encourages the Brazilian precedential culture development thru changing the legal actors’ structure of incentives. Thru the proposition of broad reviewability by supreme courts of the bad application of their precedents by ordinary civil courts, Law and Economics elements are used to demonstrate that give judiciary practice a standard differ from defensive case law is not only a legal duty, but something that can be put in effect.
