O disposto no art. 5º, XXXVI, da CF se aplica a toda e qualquer lei infraconstitucional, sem qualquer distinção entre lei de Direito Público e lei de Direito privado, ou entre lei de ordem pública e lei dispositiva. Precedentes do STF. Ocorrência, no caso, de violação de direito adquirido".

statute


Explanation:
statute (a law or code that is not the Constitution of the country or state, that ranks below the Constitution)

This response was given me by a Brazilian lawyer who is also an active translator here in the US.

Looking at Marcilio Moreira's dictionary, I see that he confirms that infraconstitucional means "abaixo da constituicao." He suggests "nonconstitutional" law, but to the US audience, that would not make a lot of sense, in my opinion.
