Mediation and conciliation: practical application in Federal Justice and perspectives in view of new technologies

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to invite the reader to reflect on the use of conciliation and mediation as tools for managing the processes and their effectiveness in the desire to bring a more adequate and fair solution to the cases in dispute. Statistical data were collected by the National Council of Justice, revealing in figures the actual results. In addition, it is intended to show that at present the use of mediation and conciliation is not limited to the demands involving individuals, being a positive reality in the legal system which included the Public Administration in the duty to seek the consensual solution of the demands. Finally, there is a focus on the use before the Federal Court and the reflection of these mechanisms in the federal jurisdiction proceedings, which ends up covering large litigators and mass demands, becoming, in this way, a reality in the present day. It is with this look that we enter into the study of conciliation and mediation.
