Opinion (José Lúcio / Columnist): Tribulations of judicial life.
I do not know if you ever noticed that a football match three teams act, but only two do have fans. The third is the refereeing team, and does not have fans or supporters. Naturally, is for this that are channeled all the frustrations and discontent bring the match.

I believe that this simple observation explains in large part the difficulties of judges and courts before the public. Who is judging function has little chance to please. In any case and whatever they decide there are always staying angry, because his claims were contradicted. And do not think that others are happy.
In fact one side is outraged, because it lost some dark and sinister explanation must be for such (is out of the question admit that the reason you may not attend at all). And the other side also comes with noticeable bitterness of strife, why (obviously!) the reason that it has been recognized is no gift or advantage - and so much time and work to see something so obvious also revolt.
We are thus condemned to the boos, the whistles and insults, without ever the consolation of some applause will alleviate this destination.
However, is good to see that without the refereeing team was not soccer. Try to, and it costs guess the shambles and the ruckus that alastraria evil stadium the game started. opposing teams and their cheerleaders would try to make it impossible to hold the challenge. The refereeing team is indeed essential.
This observation also justifies some reflections on judges and courts. Indeed, even disliking them believe that all more or less recognize that we can not live without them - otherwise life in society would indeed complicated. And it would not be better, of course.
In spite of this, for the general public, and the published opinion, I fear that the main use of such venerable institutions continue to be the same as the referee teams at football matches. They serve to discharge grievances and frustrations with this life we live.
There is corruption in society? Blame it on the courts. Rampant crime? Blame it on the courts. We have arrested the most? Blame it on the courts. We have thieves on the loose? Blame it on the courts. Borrowers do not pay? Blame it on the courts. The economy does not walk? Blame it on the courts. Growing domestic violence? Blame it on the courts. Explode the disorder in the streets? Blame it on the courts.
It is noticed so that the courts play a crucial role in the balance of this ecosystem in which we are all forced to live. Without them it is not clear where they could unload so many faults.
This is very comfortable for all (less to the courts, Clear, but we already know that this is the sort of match officials). For the mentioned public opinion and one that is published, because thus prevent look in other directions. For the other institutions and powers, because while everyone is facing that side will not be looking at them.
Exactly as in football. While there is little interest arbitration teams that our team does not throw anything, that the defense does not defend, that the attackers did not mark goals, coaches do screwed up, the leaders negotiate passes and commissions, everyone will dealing with many little life and enriching the sports costs.
Guilt will always be the arbitrators.
