The Importance of Legal Theory in the Age of Covid-19

In: Consultor Jurídico.

Autora: Raquel Scalcon
Year: 2020

Sinopse:

A professora Raquel Lima Scalcon reflete sobre a relevância da Teoria do Direito em contextos de epidemia, como a da COVID‑19. Em meio às medidas urgentes e excepcionais adotadas pelo Estado — quarentenas, restrições de circulação, isolamento social — ela destaca a necessidade de manter rigor teórico para assegurar a proteção aos direitos fundamentais. Scalcon aponta que, sem uma base normativa sólida, o enfrentamento de crises sanitárias pode ser marcado por arbitrariedades e violação de garantias básicas. Ela defende que o Direito, mesmo em situações emergenciais, deve operar com clareza conceitual, critérios de aplicação transparentes e respeito ao princípio da legalidade, servindo como bússola contra excessos estatais.
