Itis therefore inextricably linked to social, cultural,economic and political contingencies. Law is adynamic science, which implies considering thatnew issues may become object of its interest orold issues may require current and committed reflections.One of the most recurrent issues in western philosophyof law and legal theory has been the understandingof the judge*s role and the limits of hisactivities. The judge has already been viewed as amere law enforcer, a neutral figure, radically impartial,whose role was restricted to pronouncingthe truth ontological-substantially provided in thelaw (viewed as an authoritative text). The legislativebranch was in charge of making laws and thejudicial branch was in charge of enforcing suchlaws 每 an ascetical division among governmentagencies, functions and authorities was conceived,grounded in the classical understanding of theprinciple of separation of powers. Creativity wasrestricted to the scope of the legislative functionexclusively performed by the legislative branch incontrast to the enforceability of jurisdiction. Nevertheless,is there a radical way to separate creationof law from ※law enforcement§? We claimthere is not, that the court activity is unmistakablycreative, and the obligation to (re) think the judicialfunction and the role of judge is due to Courts,law professionals and legal scholars, especially intimes of judges playing the leading role.O Direito 谷 uma ci那ncia dinamica, issoimplica considerar que novas quest es podem vira ser objeto de interesse do Direito ou que velhasquest es podem demandar atuais e comprometidasreflex es.
