Résumé:
Nepotism is constituted by the designation of relatives for the filling of positions
commissioned within the Public Administration. Its practice configures an antagonistic to the
juridical order of the country, violating the constitutional principles expressed in the caput of
art. 37. The favoring of relatives in nepotism is purely based on sanguine criteria for the
filling of public offices, mainly affecting the principles of impersonality and administrative
morality, since public performance must always be based on non-segregationist social
benefits, as well as acting with honesty and dignity. Against this, the Federal Supreme Court
issued the Binding Precedent No. 13, which sought to prevent the nepotism practice in the
State direct and indirect organization, as well as in its federative entities, the union, the states
and the municipalities. Nonetheless, the Binding Precedent No. 13 prohibits the appointment
of a spouse and relatives, up to third degree, of nominating authority who holds a
management position, leadership or counseling, for the development of positions of free
appointment and dismissal. This reality faced by the Brazilian Public Administration was the
most relevant reason for carrying out the studies that ended in this paper, which seeks to
observe the reasons that led Brazil to be a nepotic country, analyze the constitutional
principles, and the country's historical-social influence in the construction of the Binding
Precedent No. 13 that resulted in the prohibition of nepotism, in face of all the legal norms
that exist in the juridical scenary of the country to restrain it, besides to its practice being
forbidden by the 1988 Federal Constitution. As the methodology, it is an inductive study, with
a exploratory and qualitative approach. As for the technical procedure, the work is developed
through bibliographic research and documentary analysis. The most diverse administrative
and constitutional doctrines, as well as the jurisdictional decisions of the Brazilian Courts,
articles and the internet are the research base of this paper. Also, the historical-evolutionary
procedure is used. Finally, the research, through the whole doctrinal apparatus,
jurisprudential, points out that nepotism is something characteristic of Brazilian culture, but,
that has been modified by Binding Precedent No. 13 and its application to concrete cases
