Judiciary Power; Gender; Judicial decision; Feminization of legal careers; Brazil; legal professions.

The article's objective is to analyze - in a scenario of the increasing number of female judges - the relation between gender and judicial decision. Based on a literary review about the theme, this paper highlights some conclusions from other theorists about the topic. Then, it explores the reproduction of gender stereotypes in the law and the Judiciary Power. Finally, some judicial decisions are presented to problematize the hypothetical presumption that female judges would have, necessarily, a beneficial view - or less stereotyped – about women in their legal decisions.

The present study brings to the table the so-called “build-to-suit” contract: a foreign legal structure conceived to increase efficiency and value generation in business real estate. To confer legitimacy to our conclusions, an empirical research has been carried about build-to-suit contracts that were executed in Brazil by economically relevant conglomerates.

The development of the Internet has led to extreme changes in society: it has allowed the establishment of new ways of thinking, acting, interacting and relating to the world, and the emergence of different economic activities that were never thought before, like e-commerce. However, Law does not always provide accurate and immediate solutions to all matters of this new social dynamic, mainly because legislative process is not as fast as technology evolution. An issue that arises with the emergence of new digital business is the civil liability of online travel agencies.
