Access to Justice: Legal Concept and Characterization
Open accessAbstract
What should be understood, at the same time, by Access to Justice? The present theme in Brazil has been shown to be relevant and pertinent, considering also the normative approaches and guidelines of our Civil Procedural Code that assimilates principles and guidelines, above all for the efficiency of the Judiciary and the need for a good jurisdictional provision. This article therefore addresses the challenge of answering that question by describing the main elements that portray the stage of development of the theme in Legal Science. The analysis of key concepts together with the exposure of the themes in order to clarify to the reader their pertinence in the legal scope is present in this approach. Without pretending to exhaust the subject, we seek to situate Access to Justice in the contemporary scenario and present the approaches commonly attributed to it, providing the methodological and terminological clarifications necessary for an adequate understanding of the theme, with an emphasis on demonstrating that the improvement of Justice needs above all to privilege legal institutions essential to Democracy, using above all the consolidated procedural bases. In this context, perspectives classified as legal-procedural and democratic-institutional are considered, as well as the concepts of access to the judiciary and access to rights, effective access, with visible and accounted results, both included in the universe of access to justice (lato sensu).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
