What is Closing arguments (razões finais)?

Closing arguments are the parties’ last word before the judgment. Once the taking of evidence is closed, each side summarizes the proof gathered and argues for granting or denial (art. 850 of the CLT). They may be oral, in ten minutes at the hearing, or filed in writing as memorials when the case is complex.

This is the chance to tie the evidence to the argument: to show the court that what was produced confirms — or dismantles — each claim. In dense cases, memorials often guide the drafting of the judgment.
