A venda de themis “nos olhos” do estado para o magistrado cego

Abstract

The present study sought to clarify the concept of disability through a historical study that underlies the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), as well as Brazilian Law. So, from the historical and social disability rights movements in the world and in Brazil, it was possible to construct an, apparently, more inclusive discourse. Therefore, this study understands the need to expose constitutional values, in order to find fundamentals of inclusive and accessible public policies, so that, finally, a person with a disability, specifically a blind person, could become a magistrate. Then, this research is bibliographic and exploratory and uses articles and legislation available on the internet and doctrinal books. As well as, it aims at analysing the case study of the firts blind judge in Brazil, current Appellate Judge Ricardo Tadeu Marques da Fonseca, with a deep study that allows a wide knowledge about this subject.
