Instituto dos Advogados de São Paulo is a Brazilian learned society and legal association founded in 1894 in São Paulo to promote doctrinal debate and jurisprudential study, fostering dialogue among jurists such as Ruy Barbosa, Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, Pontes de Miranda and institutions like Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de São Paulo, OAB and Supremo Tribunal Federal. The institute historically interacted with legal actors including Getúlio Vargas, Juscelino Kubitschek, Mário de Andrade, Antonio Candido and international counterparts like Institut de France, The Hague Academy of International Law, American Bar Association.
Founded in the late 19th century amid debates following the Proclamation of the Republic (Brazil), the institute emerged parallel to associations such as Associação Comercial de São Paulo, Clube de Engenharia, Academia Brasileira de Letras and constituencies aligned with figures like Rui Barbosa and Francisco de Paula Rodrigues Alves. Throughout the Vargas Era, the institute hosted discussions involving the Constitution of 1934, the Código Civil Brasileiro (1916), and later responses to the Constitution of 1946 and Constitution of 1988, intersecting with jurists connected to Pontes de Miranda, Miguel Reale, Afonso Arinos de Melo Franco and scholars from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro and Universidade de São Paulo. During periods of constitutional crises such as the Military dictatorship in Brazil (1964–1985), the institute functioned as a forum where legal opinions referenced precedents from Supremo Tribunal Federal, Conselho Nacional de Justiça, and comparative rulings from Supreme Court of the United States, Conseil d'État (France), and European Court of Human Rights.
The institute's mission aligns with promoting doctrinal research, contributing to reform initiatives related to codes like the Código Penal Brasileiro, Código Civil Brasileiro (2002), Código de Processo Civil (2015), and advising on matters that involve institutions such as Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo, Conselho Federal da Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil, Ministério Público Federal and legislative bodies like the Chamber of Deputies (Brazil). Objectives include organizing symposia with participation from scholars tied to Universidade de Coimbra, Universidade de Salamanca, London School of Economics, and convening debates invoking comparative law from Italy, Germany, Portugal and international law authorities such as International Court of Justice.
The institute is governed by a board and technical committees parallel to governance models in entities like Conselho Federal da Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil, Academia Brasileira de Letras, Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro and retains statutes reflecting influences from legal scholars including Gonçalves de Oliveira, Aristides Junqueira, Caio Mário da Silva Pereira and administrators with careers intersecting Tribunal Regional Federal da 3ª Região and Tribunal Superior do Trabalho. Leadership comprises presidents, secretaries and treasurers drawn from bench and bar connected to Supremo Tribunal Federal, Superior Tribunal de Justiça, Tribunal Superior Eleitoral and law faculties such as Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo.
Membership has included jurists, academics and public officials affiliated with Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro and bar associations like Seccional da OAB-SP, as well as foreign correspondents from Academia de Ciencias Morales y Politicas (Mexico), Royal Society (UK), Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques. Membership categories echo models found in Academia Paulista de Letras and may require nominations referencing careers at Ministério da Justiça, Procuradoria-Geral da República or tenures at appellate courts such as Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de São Paulo.
The institute organizes lectures, colloquia and seminars featuring speakers from institutions like Harvard Law School, Yale Law School, Universidade de Coimbra, Universidad de Buenos Aires and convenes panels on subjects tied to the Constitution of Brazil (1988), Direitos Humanos debates involving Amnesty International, and procedural reform dialogues with participants from Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos. Programs include moot courts, comparative law workshops with delegates from European Court of Human Rights, policy roundtables referencing legislation such as the Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente and collaborative initiatives with entities like Fundação Getulio Vargas.
