On March 27, 2026, I participated as a speaker at the inauguration of the Legislative School and the launch of the Youth Parliament 2026 at the Santa Luzia City Council (MG), representing Legislab-UFMG.

The lecture covered the legislative branch at the local level, presenting some constitutional guidelines on the role of the legislature at this level, empirical evidence on how it operates, and a discussion of how the legislative production methodology developed at Legislab can help build better laws.

The presentation slides (in Portuguese) are available at this link.
