civilistica.com: revista eletrônica de direito civil

In this last issue of 2024, ||civilistica.com focuses its attention on contemporary problems in family law, one of the areas of civil law most directly linked to the promotion of human dignity. We open the issue with an article authored by our editors and executive advisor, Professors Maria Celina Bodin de Moraes, Maria Cristina De Cicco and Joyceane Bezerra de Menezes, outlining an overview of the constitutionalization of family law in Brazilian jurisprudence. The dialogue between human autonomy and capacity is established in interesting studies on testamentary capacity and decision-making regarding children and adolescents. We also present works specifically focused on the various dilemmas faced in the adoption process and parental relationships. In the field of civil liability, we highlight studies on the turbulent development of the so-called "existential damage" in our law, as well as the damages produced within the scope of new technologies. Contractual liability is also faced, particularly in its modulation by the so-called "wash-out clause". We wish everyone a great end of the year!
