O Instituto da Medição de Conflitos como contributo ao combate a morosidade do Poder Judiciário brasileiro.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the causes and consequences of the exorbitant slowness that hangs over the functioning of the Judiciary. The aim is to answer the question: should the mediation institute, as a consensual means of conflict resolution, be an effective method to reduce the excessive number of lawsuits? The method of approach is deductive, starting from the premise that the slowness that plagues the Judiciary stems from a wide variety of causes. A study was then made of the main consequences of the current congestion of the judiciary. Finally, the research was directed to the study of mediation as a consensual form of dispute resolution. It is of fundamental importance the study of the subject, since, the increasing demands process has been manifested as the main obstacle to the effective justice, since not infrequently the judicial sentence becomes ineffective due to the excessive temporal lapse, elapsed between the filing of the action and the verdict. In this way, mediation presents itself as an effective method of settling disputes, shaping the reality of the parties and indirectly contributing to the unblocking of the Judiciary.
