The theme of justice was much discussed and considered as the most important for the new liberal regime. The political confrontation marked the boundaries between the most radical, moderate, conservative and reactionary liberal factions. The options swung between a popular model of justice and an elitist one, going through hybrid choices. The main occasions of these choices were the 1822 Constitution, the 1826 Constitutional Charter, the 1832 Mouzinho da Silveira Reform, the 1837 New Reform (setembrista), the 1838 Constitution and the 1841 Newest Reform (cabralista). This text analyzes the definition of the liberal justice model.

Resumo
O tema da justiça foi muito discutido e considerado como o mais importante para o novo regime liberal. O confronto político marcou as fronteiras entre a fação liberal mais radical, a moderada, a conservadora e a reacionária. As opções oscilaram entre um modelo popular de justiça e um modelo elitista, passando por escolhas híbridas. Os principais momentos destas escolhas foram a Constituição de 1822, a Carta Constitucional de 1826, a Reforma de Mouzinho da Silveira de 1832, a Nova Reforma de 1837 (setembrista), a Constituição de 1838 e a Novíssima Reforma de 1841 (cabralista). O presente texto analisa e passa em revista a definição do modelo de justiça liberal.
