The indicators on the brazilian judiciary: Limitations, challenges and the use of technology

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the production of data on the activities of the Brazilian Judiciary, checking its limitations in terms of reliability and instrumentality. Within the large area of Law and Technology, the main focus of studies has been the impact of technology on the legal professions and the services provided by its operators. This article sheds light on the use of technology in the management of the jurisdictional activities of the state, more specifically in the Judiciary, in order to propose aspects to be incorporated for the transformation of judicial statistics into information capable of subsidizing public policies that aim not only at judicial management, but above all the improvement of the judicial services.
