In Brazil, judge's rulings are a fundamental part of the judicial system inherited from Portuguese civil law tradition. They carry significant legal weight and must be formally complied with. Unlike common law countries, Brazilian judges have more investigative roles. The term 'decisão do juiz' is used formally in legal documents and courtroom proceedings, while 'sentença' specifically refers to a final judgment in a case.
