C.21 members elected directly by universal vote among all Brazilian licensed attorneys and magistrates.

D.11 members chosen exclusively from the Ministério Público Federal with a single 1-year mandate.

Explanation: Article 130-A of CF/88 states that the CNMP consists of 14 members appointed by the President of the Republic after confirmation by absolute majority of the Federal Senate for a 2-year mandate (one reappointment permitted), and it is presided over by the Procurador-Geral da República.

D.It acts as a court of appeal to judge criminal charges brought against Federal Prosecutors for common criminal offenses.

Explanation: Under Article 130-A, §2º, of CF/88, the CNMP is responsible for the administrative, financial, and disciplinary oversight of the Ministério Público and its members. It can receive complaints, order the instigation of disciplinary proceedings, summon records, and apply administrative sanctions. However, it cannot interfere with the functional independence or the substantive merits of legal opinions delivered in court cases.

7Under Article 103 of CF/88 and STF jurisprudence, active standing to file a Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade - ADI) is divided between universal petitioners (legitimados universais) and thematic petitioners (legitimados especiais). Which petitioner has universal standing and does NOT need to prove thematic pertinence (pertinência temática)?

A.Confederação sindical ou entidade de classe de âmbito nacional.

B.Mesa de Assembleia Legislativa ou da Câmara Legislativa do DF.

C.Governador de Estado ou do Distrito Federal.

D.Procurador-Geral da República (PGR).

Explanation: The STF divides the petitioners listed in Article 103 into universal petitioners (who can challenge any law on any topic without proving a direct institutional link) and special/thematic petitioners (who must demonstrate pertinência temática). Universal petitioners are: the President of the Republic, the Mesa do Senado Federal, the Mesa da Câmara dos Deputados, the Procurador-Geral da República, the Federal Council of the OAB, and political parties with congressional representation.

8In concentrated constitutional review proceedings (ADI, ADC, ADO, ADPF) before the Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), what is the constitutional requirement regarding the participation of the Procurador-Geral da República (PGR) under Article 103, §1º, of CF/88?

B.The PGR must be previously heard in all direct actions of unconstitutionality and in all constitutional proceedings before the STF (o Procurador-Geral da República deverá ser previamente ouvido em todos os processos de inconstitucionalidade).

C.The PGR's participation is optional and may be completely substituted by the Advogado-Geral da União whenever the Federal Government is an interested party.

D.The PGR only manifests if the action was originally filed by a political party or a state governor.

Explanation: Article 103, §1º, of CF/88 establishes that the Procurador-Geral da República shall be previously heard in all actions of unconstitutionality and in all other proceedings within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Federal Court. In direct actions, the PGR acts as custos constitutionis (guardian of the constitutional order), providing an independent technical legal opinion (parecer).

9In a Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI) challenging a federal statute before the STF, how do the constitutional roles of the Advogado-Geral da União (AGU) and the Procurador-Geral da República (PGR) differ pursuant to Article 103, §§1º and 3º, of CF/88?

A.Both the AGU and PGR are constitutionally obliged to defend the unconstitutionality of the challenged statute under all circumstances.

B.The AGU acts as the constitutional defender/curator of the legal norm (curador da norma) and shall defend the challenged act, whereas the PGR acts as custos constitutionis, issuing an independent legal opinion that may conclude for either constitutionality or unconstitutionality.

C.The PGR defends the challenged statute while the AGU issues an impartial judicial opinion representing the judiciary.

D.The AGU only participates if the action is filed by the President of the Republic, while the PGR only participates if the action involves criminal legislation.

Explanation: Under Article 103, §3º, CF/88, when the STF reviews the unconstitutionality in abstract of a legal rule or federal/state act, the Advogado-Geral da União is summoned to defend the challenged text (acting as curador da norma, with exceptions recognized by STF when the Court has already declared identical norms unconstitutional). Conversely, under Article 103, §1º, the PGR acts independently as the guardian of the Constitution (fiscal da ordem jurídica), free to manifest in favor of or against constitutionality.

10Under Article 36, III, of CF/88, what is the exclusive constitutional prerogative of the Procurador-Geral da República regarding Federal Intervention (Intervenção Federal) in the States or Federal District?

A.The PGR directly decrees federal intervention and mobilizes the Armed Forces without presidential involvement.

B.The PGR has exclusive active standing to propose the Interventive Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (Representação Interventiva / ADI Interventiva) before the STF to ensure compliance with sensitive constitutional principles (princípios constitucionais sensíveis) or enforcement of federal law.

C.The PGR can only request intervention if authorized in advance by a two-thirds vote of the National Council of Justice (CNJ).

D.The PGR acts solely as defense counsel for the intervened state government before the Federal Senate.

Explanation: Pursuant to Article 36, III, of CF/88, a decree of federal intervention to ensure observance of sensitive constitutional principles (Art. 34, VII) or to ensure the execution of federal law depends on the STF granting a representation filed exclusively by the Procurador-Geral da República (Representação Interventiva / ADI Interventiva).

Analista do MPU (Área Jurídica) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master Complementary Law No. 75/1993: Focus heavily on the competencies of the Procurador-Geral da República, the structure of the Câmaras de Coordenação e Revisão, and the statutory powers to requisition documents, conduct inspections, and issue administrative recommendations under Articles 6 and 8.

2Understand Constitutional Review and the PGR's Role: Study Articles 102, 103, and 127–130-A of CF/88, noting that the PGR must be heard in all direct actions of unconstitutionality (ADI, ADC, ADO, ADPF) and has exclusive active standing to propose Federal Interventive Actions (representação interventiva).

3Differentiate Collective Rights under the CDC and LACP: Know the definitions and cosa judicata effects of diffuse rights (direitos difusos), collective rights stricto sensu, and individual homogeneous rights (direitos individuais homogêneos) under Articles 81 and 103 of Lei 8.078/1990.
