Refosco* * Helena Campos Refosco serves as Judge of Instruction at Brazil's Federal Supreme Court, where she assists Justice Ricardo Lewandowski. Helena holds a Ph.D., cum laude, from the University of Sao Paulo (USP) Law School. As part of her doctoral studies, she embarked on a six-month Visiting Research Fellowship at Harvard Law School (Fall/Winter, 2015-16), delving into the areas of Law and Development, Human Rights, and Complex Litigation. Acknowledgments: This article took much of its inspiration from a case study I developed in my doctoral thesis, which was brilliantly supervised by Professor Carlos Portugal Gouvea of the USP Law School and by Professor David Kennedy, my Faculty Advisor during my Visiting Research Fellowship at Harvard Law School. I am indebted to both of them for their attention and encouragement. Moreover, I must offer special thanks to Justice Ricardo Lewandowski of Brazil's Federal Supreme Court and Appellate Judge Carlos Alberto de Salles of the Sao Paulo State Court of Justice, as well as to Professors Maria Tereza Sadek, Oscar Vilhena Vieira, and Daniela Monteiro Gabbay. As the members of the USP Review Board before which I defended my Ph.D. thesis, these renowned legal experts put forth a number of relevant-and heartening-observations that proved invaluable to my subsequent scholarly efforts. I must express my gratitude to Johnathan E. Amacker, to Professors Clarissa Macea, Gustavo Sampaio de Abreu Ribeiro, Jean-Paul Veiga da Rocha, Joanna Vieira Noronha, and Yi Shin Tang, and to the participants of the Institute for Global Law and Policy/Harvard Law School Conference (IGLP: The Conference), for their myriad contributions to this article. Many thanks, also, to June Casey of the Harvard Law School Library for her encouragement and support, and to the staff of the Columbia Human Rights Law Review for their invaluable editorial assistance, especially to Isabelle Canaan and Kelley Chang-Fong for their thoughtful feedback.
