He has been the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Brazil from April 19, 2012, until his retirement.
Despite his quite short term as Chief Justice of Brazil, he succeeded to conduct many major cases, as well start the trial of the Criminal Action 470 (popularly nicknamed Mensalão), one of the most complex cases in history to be examined by that Court.
Currently he's a occasional contributor to "O Estado de S. Paulo", a Brazilian newspaper.
