Objectives of this study include presenting how the relationship between the occupations carried out by the Landless Workers' Movement (MST) and the process of land democratization in Brazil is established, as well as analyzing the legality and legitimacy of these occupations and their impacts within the Brazilian legal and social context. In this scenario, the aim is to investigate the legal foundations that support the actions of the MST, in accordance with Brazilian legislation, and to understand how these occupations are perceived within the legal community. Furthermore, the methodology is based on bibliographic research and the analysis of relevant laws and jurisprudence, with the intention of contributing to the public debate on agrarian reform and social justice in the country, providing a critical analysis of the legal, ethical, and political issues involved.
