Resumo: | https://doi.org/10.1590/2179-8966/2023/79472i This article is semi-experiential, written from the vantage point of a critical insider/outsider as the author has no formal degree in Law but her research at the intersections of law and feminism and her teaching experience as a Political Science faculty in a law school, for seven years, mark her as an insider. This specificity or rather ambiguity of her location aids in an act of appropriation and subversion in keeping with the vision of the Feminist Judgments Projects from different parts of the world, to rupture the Law’s/judges’ claim to exclusivity of judging. The key objective of the article is to engage with methodological and epistemological challenges that a feminist rewriter of a judgment has to face in a neo/post-colonial context like contemporary India. The author draws attention to the lack of interdisciplinary perspectives in legal education curriculum and pedagogy in India and argues that reimagining of justice by supplying radical interpretive frameworks requires re-imagination of the system that educates students of law who then enter legal practice in various capacities and roles. The article also locates judicial privilege and hierarchy in everyday practices and technicalities of law insisted upon in courts; exhibited in complexity of legal language and discursive gestures; and the materiality of judicial authority inherent in spatial practices, symbols and monuments. Keywords: Feminist Judgments Project; Indian Feminist Judgments Project; Legal Education; Interdisciplinary Perspectives; Feminist Methodology; Feminist Jurisprudence. |

Esta especificidade, ou melhor, ambiguidade da sua localização ajuda num ato de apropriação e subversão, em consonância com a visão dos Projectos de Julgamentos Feministas de diferentes partes do mundo, para romper com a reivindicação de exclusividade do julgamento por parte do Direito/juízes. O principal objetivo do artigo é o de abordar os desafios metodológicos e epistemológicos que uma (re)escritora feminista de uma sentença tem de enfrentar num contexto neo/pós-colonial como o da Índia contemporânea. A autora chama a atenção para a falta de perspectivas interdisciplinares no currículo e na pedagogia do ensino jurídico na Índia e argumenta que a reimaginação da justiça através do fornecimento de quadros interpretativos radicais requer a reimaginação do sistema que forma os estudantes de direito que depois ingressam na prática jurídica em várias qualidades e funções. O artigo também localiza o privilégio e a hierarquia judiciais nas práticas quotidianas e nos aspectos técnicos do direito utilizados nos tribunais; expostos na complexidade da linguagem jurídica e dos gestos discursivos; e na materialidade da autoridade judicial inerente às práticas, símbolos e monumentos espaciais.
