The research theme is the Brazilian Supreme Court, facing the following question: should the model of choosing the justices be altered or maintained? The goal of the investigation is finding keys to this question. The relevance of the theme is justified by the importance, in the national scene, of the Brazilian Supreme Court, which not only is at the top of the Judiciary Power, but finds itself increasingly present in contemporary brazilian society life. Intermediate goals of the research are: investigate why the brazilian Senate, from the 20th and 21st century until present day, has never disapproved the choice of presidents of the Republic; who are the most recent ministers, setting as temporal delimitation the thirty years of redemocratization starting in 1985; and finally, why did Brazil change so much since 1891 and the model of choosing justices was never altered, as well as how the apparently existing paradox between an institutional dynamic system and a conservative model of choice can reveal the character of the Brazilian institutional system. In closing, while answering the main goals, an review on the alterations with most viability of being introduced in provided, both by formal model switching as well as by method of execution and followup by society. After that, a personal contribution is made, pointing paths to give rise and motivate participation of the civil society in this process. Finishing the research, after unveiling the paths that lead men and women to the Brazilian Supreme Court, paths that determine the course of the Court itself, an effort is made, as final considerations, suggesting what the choice of ministers of the Brazilian Supreme Court, as a social-political phenomena, reveal about contemporary Brazil.
