Comparative law notes

Brazil

In Brazil, the term "jurisprudência" refers exclusively to the body of court decisions, so "case law" is the best translation. "Jurisprudence", in English, has multiple meanings, such as the science of law ("ciência do direito", "estudo do direito") and the philosophy of law ("filosofia do direito").
