Paulo Figueiredo defines "jurisdocracy" as a system where the judiciary seizes the power to create laws and persecute political opposition, bypassing checks and balances. He argues that the Brazilian Supreme Court illegally opened its own investigations into "crimes" committed against the court on the internet. The discussion warns that similar trends are appearing in the U.S., Canada, and Israel, where courts are becoming the ultimate political authority.
