This article aims to introduce and analyze the main characteristics of legal culture in the Brazilian First Republic (1889-1930), with a focus on public law. It seeks to connect legal culture, legal-doctrine creation and case-law practice with the political and economic context of the Brazilian First Republic. The goal of such analysis is to develop a greater understanding of the relationship between lawyers’ practices and concrete problems, in order to grasp how both legal doctrines and legal practices are contextually shaped and legitimized. The main point here is that, unlike many argumentative shortcuts that are found in the analyses of the legal culture of the period, the unorthodox practices (from a European point of view) were not usually established due to the lawyers’ supposed lack of good education at the time (which are the more obvious conclusions from Eurocentric-based analyses and/or from the ones produced by rival fields of study within the Brazilian academic universe), but due to concrete problems, not merely abstract intellectual choices, not even deficiencies in the education of the lawyers. There was a need and/or strategy involved.
