Justice Ivan Rand was perhaps the greatest exponent of the rule of law in the history of the Supreme Court of Canada. He was a great judge. He scorned as impractical the admonition that judges should “apply the law, not make it”. His judgements frequently broke new ground, but it should be understood that in “making the law” great judges like Ivan Rand respond to fundamental considerations of order and fairness and not to personal whim. It is sometimes necessary for judges to return to first principles to provide legislators with a framework within which to operate in unforeseen situations. The word “activism” is usually used by critics to imply that a judge is pushing the envelope beyond the proper boundaries of the law, but properly understood the term may equally indicate a judicial tightening of the boundaries to deny the bench a power seemingly conferred by the Constitution or legislation. Restraint, as much as expansion, is governed by the judges’ recognition of the limits of their institutional competence and their appreciation of their role in the constitutional scheme.In the absence of statutory authority the courts have not yet addressed issues related to globalization and human rights with the sort of boldness and creativity we associate with great judges like Ivan Rand. Order and fairness have acquired a global dimension. Globalization offers a different kind of challenge, but is no less demanding of the rule of law. In the case of creating some form or forum of relief for Third World victims of globalization, we seem to have used restraint as an excuse for inertia. Judges need to be practical, but their greatness will rest on their capacity to see not only what the law is but what it should become. There is a time for boldness and a time for restraint and judges should be judged on their ability to tell the difference.

Islamic movements that make Islam as an ideology, both at national and global levels always lead to aspirations and demands to implement shari'ah (Islamic law) in total (kaffah) through State instruments. In a legal country like Indonesia, such aspirations and demands cannot always be fulfilled. This is because the rule of law like Indonesia, from the very beginning was built on the basis of the spirit of nationalism based on principles, divinity, humanity, justice, unity and the principle of equality or equality of every citizen in front of the law.

História do Direito Administrativo no Brasil (1937-1964): o debate em torno das delegações legislativasThe history of the Administrative Law in Brazil (1937-1964): the debate about legislative delegation Mauricio Costa Mesurini[1] RESUMO: Trata-se de um trabalho sobre história do Direito Administrativo no Brasil, notadamente no período de 1937 a 1964. O objetivo é mostrar alguns aspectos da trajetória do campo, em especial as transformações favorecidas pela tendência modernizadora, entre elas, o debate em torno das delegações legislativas, um tema que se desenvolveu na doutrina a partir e à margem das disposições constitucionais da época. É inegável a importância da lei para o direito público moderno. Mas o que é a lei? Quem tem o poder de confeccioná-la? “O governo das leis” em substituição ao “governo dos homens”, em verdade uma tautologia, encobre o problema sobre a fonte de onde emanam as leis. Assim sendo, mesmo em um Estado de Direito, a disputa político-jurídica permanece latente e continua em jogo a definição de quem são os “senhores” da legislação. O artigo investiga o debate jurídico em torno das delegações legislativas abordando quatro juristas da época: Francisco Campos, Victor Nunes Leal, Bilac Pinto e Themistocles Cavalcanti. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Direito Administrativo. Direito Constitucional. Delegações legislativas. Separação de poderes. ABSTRACT: This paper is a study on the history of administrative law in Brazil, notably in the period 1937-1964. The purpose is to present some aspects of the development of this field of study, especially the changes favored by the modernization process through which Brazil has passed, such as the debate about legislative delegation, a theme that was developed in the legal doctrine from and beyond the constitutional arrangement of the period. It is undeniable the importance of the legislation to modern public law. But what is legislation? Who has the power to make it? The “rule of law” replacing the “government of men”, in fact a tautology, conceals the problem of the source from where the law emanates. Therefore, even in the bases of the rule of law, the legal-political dispute remains latent, and the definition about who establishes the law remains open. More specifically, the paper analyzes the debate about legislative delegation in Brazil by four legal experts of the period: Francisco Campos, Victor Nunes Leal, Bilac Pinto and Themistocles Cavalcanti. KEYWORDS: Administrative law. Constitutional law. Legislative delegation. Separation of powers.[1] Doutor em História do Direito pela Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina – UFSC, 2016.

The rule of law, understood as ideology and legal rules, is believed to be a competitive advantage of Western civilization, supporting its sustainable development. Yet it can also be viewed as a social norm of citizens who respect the law and follow its commands. How does this social norm emerge in different societies? This question must be answered through the social history of the law in Western and non-Western societies from a comparative perspective. This paper outlines the main features of comparative socio-legal history and tests it on some significant historical examples. In the first part of the article, the authors propose a functional classification of legal systems into three ideal Weberian types-the law of judges, learned law, and the law of the authorities. It allows us to consider the origin of the social norm of the rule of law. In the second part of the article, the authors trace the transition from the ideal types to natural legal systems and identify the factors that determine the stability of the social norm of the rule of law where it originated. In the final part of the article, the authors conclude that, first, the social norm of the rule of law emerged in the societies where the law had been treated either as a means of resolving disputes (the law of judges) or as the rules of fair, correct conduct (learned law), for example, the Roman Republic, medieval England, continental Europe, and the Ottoman Empire. Secondly, the stability of the social norm of the rule of law seems to be explained by a "triangle" of factors, namely: 1) political competition where all participants understand the inevitability of compromise on the basis of the law, 2) law which is suitable for finding a compromise due to its internal merits, 3) a professional community of jurists who develop and apply law independently of the administration. Such a triangle is possible in any society where the law of judges or learned law prevails and where the majority of participants in the political process are ready to compromise based on the current law. / JEL Classification: K 10; K 11; K 12
