In addition to widely known factors, the creation of Labor Justice Courts in the Vargas regime resulted from negotiations between bureaucrats from the National Labor Council (CNT) and legal experts who guarded the boundaries of the judiciary. The article draws on documentation from the CNT and the Supreme Court to identify three phases of conversion of the administrative body into a judicial one. We conclude that, in the process of institutional adjustment, political survival strategies were associated with normative parameters of justice stemming from a common legal culture. The socialization of law led to an expansion of the power of interpretation of the judiciary. In the world of law and judiciary, corporatism received contours linked less to class representation and more to access to justice and state control of the workers’ demands.
