Abstract

This article aims to analyze the legal issues concerning the liability of public lawyers. The legal foundations of the responsibility of the public lawyer in the exercise of advisory activity will be studied, with a focus on the positions expressed by the Supreme Court and the Federal Court of Auditors. In this context, there is a conclusion for the importance of the concept of technical autonomy of the public lawyer as an expression of the collective right to good administration, which will permeate the existing legal limits that characterize the responsibility of the advisory public lawyer. Finally, it will be concluded that in certain circumstances the public lawyer will only respond for fraud or fraud pursuant to art. 184 of the CPC, ruling out serious guilt (gross error).
