The structuring of the sociology of Law as an autonomous discipline is a recent phenomenon both in world terms and in Brazil. To understand how the sociology of law was able to differentiate itself, in particular, from philosophy and theory of law, through its object and specific interests, is necessary to answer the central question of the paper: is it still necessary, in Brazil, the study of the sociology of law? The question was answered based on the assumption that (a) law is a social phenomenon, to (b) delimit the object of sociology of law, and therefore (c) to approach the past and the present of the discipline in Brazil, reaching the conclusion that (d) the current Brazilian moment demands even more the study of the external perspective of Law (sociology).La estructuración de la sociología jurídica como disciplina autónoma es un fenómeno reciente, tanto en el mundo como en Brasil. Para entender cómo la sociología jurídica logró diferenciarse, en concreto, de la filosofía y la teoría del derecho, a través de su objeto y sus intereses concretos, debemos responder la pregunta central del artículo: ¿es todavía necesario, en Brasil, el estudio de la sociología jurídica? Se ha respondido a la pregunta en base a la aceptación de que (a) el derecho es un fenómeno social, para (b) delimitar el objeto de la sociología jurídica, y por tanto (c) abordar el pasado y presente de la disciplina en Brasil, llegando a la conclusión de que (d) el momento presente en Brasil exige un estudio aún mayor de la perspectiva externa del derecho (sociología).
