“…De acordo com Edelman (2004), as organizações estão imersas num ambiente legal, dotado de leis e de entendimentos associados a essas leis e, nesse ambiente, as organizações são atores hábeis à construção do sentido da lei. Sendo assim, as organizações elegem estruturas que denotam conformidade às leis que lhes são aplicadas.…”

“…Nesse sentido, o relacionamento entre lei e organizações não se dá unicamente numa relação do tipo "top-down", em que a lei incide e influencia diretamente a organização, mas também na base da organização, representada pela realidade prática, para a letra da lei (EDELMAN, 2004).…”

“…trabalho também contribui com a ampliação da discussão sobre processos de endogeneidade legal (EDELMAN, 2004), em específico da lei do pregão, entendida como a adoção da regra pela organização, que não somente a aceita, mas também a pratica e a transforma, interferindo no seu conteúdo e no seu significado.…”

ResumoO presente artigo tem como objetivo verificar a adoção cerimonial do pregão eletrônico em processos de licitação do Banco do Brasil (BB), decorrente da expressão de mito racional associado ao setor público brasileiro. O trabalho, fundamentado teoricamente no institucionalismo organizacional e na Sociologia do Direito, foi desenvolvido em duas etapas: a primeira analisou qualitativamente o contexto normativo referente ao pregão eletrônico (por meio do estudo de jurisprudências) e a segunda investigou, quantitativamente, a celeridade de 184 processos licitatórios realizados pelo banco no primeiro semestre de 2013, uma década após a Lei 10.520/02 ter instituído a modalidade. A análise dos dados constatou ressonância entre o discurso do Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) e a atividade administrativa do BB. Os resultados indicaram que a utilização do pregão não apresentou padrão de comportamento que vincule sua celeridade às variáveis de complexidade ou economicidade e que o

“…The socio‐legal literature on the role of lawyers in the private sector provides some important insights on the institutional logics of legal professionals and their practices as a professional community. In discussions of the role of lawyers in the private sector, two images are frequently invoked: first, lawyers as agents of “rights consciousness”, engaged in the diffusion of legal knowledge and practice in a way that empowers employees vis‐à‐vis their employers; second, lawyers as “compliance professionals,” engaged in framing (and sometimes inflating) the risks posed by law to private organizations (Edelman ; Gilad ). According to this literature, lawyers are mediators, that is, agents translating the logic of law from the public to the private sector via emblems such as “due process,” adversarial litigation and antidiscrimination procedures and mechanisms (Dezalay and Garth ; Edelman ).…”

By so doing, lawyers project their professional orientation and experience as agents of public interest law—responsible for the checks and balances on administrative power for the sake of individual rights—into private domains, thereby appropriating the latter to accord with public law rationale.…”

Infusing Public Law into Privatized Welfare: Lawyers, Economists, and the Competing Logics of Administrative Reform

Along with the trend toward “New Public Management” (NPM) and replacing the legal culture of public bureaucracies with market logic through privatization, we are also witnessing instances of “publicization,” the application of public law norms and mechanisms to privatized services. The article explores the role of government lawyers and economists in the dynamics of these administrative reforms. Using a detailed case study of welfare‐to‐work reform in Israel, it shows that the reconstruction of decision making and accountability patterns under NPM was the result of competing efforts by these professional groups to appropriate the “privatized state” to accord with their own institutional logics and interests. While economists advanced a “market” logic, lawyers tried to reproduce the logic of “law” in the post‐bureaucratic setting. The study demonstrates how eventually public law norms were re‐infused into privatized welfare as a result of the increasing institutional power of the lawyers in the regulatory space, along with wider political and social support for the entrenched legalistic mechanisms of the administrative state. However, in addition to the “battle of norms” between lawyers and economists, there were also concessions that led to the redrawing of the boundaries of public law along more functional, rather than formal, lines.

Varieties of Legal Intermediaries: When Non-legal Professionals Act as Legal Intermediaries

Legal Intermediation

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Legal intermediation is an emerging theoretical concept developed to grasp the importance of the process and actors who contribute to legal endogenization, in particular in the field of economic activities and work governed by various public regulations. This article proposes to extend the analytical category of legal intermediary to all actors who, even if they are not legal professionals, deal on a daily basis with legal categories and provisions. In order to deepen our understanding of these actors and their contribution to how organizations frame legality, this paper investigates four examples of legal intermediaries who are not legal professionals. Based on four field surveys conducted over the past fifteen years in France on employment policy, industrial relations, occupational health and safety regulation, and forensic economics, I make three contributions. First, the cases show the diversity of legal intermediaries and their growing and increasingly reflexive roles in our complex economies. Second, while they are not legal professionals per se, to different degrees, these legal intermediaries assume roles similar to those of legal professionals such as legislators, judges, lawyers, inspectors, cops, and even clerks. Finally, depending on their level of legitimacy and power, I show how legal intermediaries take part in the process of legal endogenization and frame ordinary legality.
