The Master’s Degree in Procedural Law & Citizenship has a concentration area referred to as Civil Procedural Law, with two research lines:

Line 1: The Process as an Instrument for the Protection of Citizenship and Human/Fundamental Rights

This research line addresses Procedural, Constitutional and Civil Law, as essential and relevant elements for the protection and enhancement of Human Rights and Fundamental Rights. The objective of the research is to analyze the reflections of procedural science in guaranteeing the realization of rights, aiming at a minimum existential, dignified condition, especially at the individual level, having as its central objective the purpose of obtaining, in a Democratic State of Law, the real exercise of the constitutionally foreseen and guaranteed potentialities. Therefore, the protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Rights, which is the central point of the approach, is not limited only to the rights of each individual, but also those of a social nature, always having the Federal Constitution and its social commitment as a guide. Projects that aim at the execution of broader policies, using procedural protection, must have as their ultimate purpose the real and effective guarantee of constitutional rights, whether the minimum, or those that aim at the well-being of society as a whole. The recognition and execution of commands of a constitutional procedural nature, even those that guarantee the essential levels of Law, are the object of this line of research.
