In its entire history, the São Paulo Court of Justice has never worked as hard as this year to bring the service up to date. Thematic chambers were created; 213 first instance judges were summoned to work side by side with judges; more than 2 thousand interns were hired to help with operational services; the judges now have an additional legal assistant, leaving them with two advisors and a clerk. But the result was not what was expected. There was no point in judging this year, in nine months, 27 thousand more appeals than in twelve months last year (260 thousand until September compared to 233 thousand in 2004). Converted per month, this means that the production line went from 19 thousand made in 2004 to 29 thousand in.
Of course, it is necessary to take into account the long 90-day strike last year. The fact is that the TJ arrived in September even more clogged than it was in January. The year 2005 began with a collection of 505 thousand files awaiting distribution. And it closes the third quarter with 550 thousand stored processes. In other words: the mouth of the funnel remains much wider than the exit. For the Estonia Email List General Inspector of Justice, José Cardinale , the factors that hold up the São Paulo Judiciary are external. “What judges can do, they already do,” he says. “For society to have more justice, the Executive Branch needs to do its part”, he complains. In June this year, the balance of cases waiting to be distributed fell to 147 thousand, with automatic distribution.
But it is easy to notice that the processes have only changed shelves. They are far from a solution, as shown by the procedural movement statistics available on the court's website. Just to give you an idea of the size of the mountain, the cases that were parked in the São Paulo TJ are equivalent to what was judged in all the other 26 courts of Justice across the country in 2003: 569 thousand cases. This staggering volume, translated in terms of time, means a wait of more than five years for the last process in the queue to become the first. The type of situation that leads those under the jurisdiction to believe that justice is at the service of crime and deadbeats. The climb The number of trials from January to September this year gradually grew at a rate of 20 to 30 thousand appeals judged per month. In August, judges broke their record, judging 53 thousand cases.
