A survey conducted by the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and National Council for Justice (CNJ) – In partnership with federal, state and municipal prosecutors – litigation issues (procedures submitted against the government) were defined throughout the country. There are 9.2 million operations. The idea is to search for solutions and measures that help reduce demands, and thus decipher the judiciary.
The quantitative data was collected between March 2024 and March 2025. Conflicts have been determined focusing on five areas: social security, taxes, public employees, health and employment.
The project now enters a second step. Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) will analyze specific data, including interviews by public prosecutors, states and municipalities.
The goal is to understand these processes: causes and problems. As a result of the intersection of this information, proposals will be submitted to the legislative and the judicial authority itself.
“The idea is that this research can cast light and suggest solutions that reduce the number of operations that also simplify this litigation, either from reaching the judiciary, proposing administrative solutions or reducing the time when these operations are addressed in the judiciary, and reconciliation and mediation are usually the most effective way to reduce the time of the operation in the judiciary.”
Among the proposed measures so far, through the STF working group, the establishment of specialized public prosecutors aimed at negotiating, reconciling and mediation that avoids issues to the judiciary or reducing their economic effects.
Another newly submitted suggestion is that CNJ has prepared a recommendation that defines criteria followed by all courts, especially those for the second degree, to create incidents that are solved in a collective manner where the topics are repeated.
The suggestion is that these cases will be resolved in the incidents of the repeated requirements decision in order to unify the understanding.
To the Federal Public Prosecutor Sebasto Fostino de Paula, who represents Union Public Prosecutor (AGU) In discussions on this topic, by reducing the number of shares, management will have more time to promote a good public service.
He says: “(intentionally) is to improve quality, because today we must behave on two fronts: patronage care, conflict resolution and disputes. If this number reduces, the government can focus on effective savings of public policies, which is its main task.”
In the federal region, for example, the Public Prosecutor’s Office prepares the reconciliation portal, where any citizen against the local administration will have the option to submit an agreement.
“In the context of the union alone, 70 billion in Pricarchism was paid. On the blog, we will move to the payments about 770 million. It is necessary to withdraw solutions to reduce litigation and that the good, which is searched in litigation, is resolved in an administrative manner,” says the prosecution assistant, Ideenilson Lima.
