Brazil gathers the modern Justices and Presidents of the Supremo Tribunal Federal, Brazil's Supreme Federal Court, the country's highest constitutional authority and one of the most closely watched courts in Latin America for its role in adjudicating disputes between the country's branches of government, ruling on landmark cases touching corruption investigations, electoral law and the boundaries of presidential and legislative power, and for the unusually high public profile its individual justices carry in Brazilian political life.
