In one second, it is analyzed the configuration of the legal tradition heiress of the standard of the imperial bacharelismo inside the analyzed space and its relation with the catolicism and the social, professional and politics insertion of the main agents associated with this tradition. In one third part, it was analyzed the differentiation of a space of production of definitions of Law related to the ascension of determined groups of ?marginalized? jurists that turn against this tradition. Outstanding resources of these are the investment in Master?s and Doctoral degrees, the professionalization in the teaching activity and in the definition of institucional criteria of legal education. In one fourth part, it was analyzed the mobilizations of new uses of Law in the world of legal careers through the movement of the ?alternative Law? and the analysis of representative cases of Law engaged in collective causes. Finally, in a fifth part, it was broached the emergency of associations of jurists, particularly of magistrates and prosecutors, and the mobilization around institucional definitions and legitimation of these careers face the world of politics.
