A (in)efetividade dos núcleos de conciliação do tribunal de justiça do Piauí sob o prisma do conselho nacional de justiça

Abstract

This research analyzes the effectiveness of the Conciliation Centers of the Court of Justice of the State of Piauí (TJPI) from the perspective of the National Council of Justice (CNJ), seeking to understand to what extent national policies that encourage alternative dispute resolution have been implemented in the regional context. The main objectives of the study are to identify the factors that influence the functioning of these centers, to evaluate their results in light of the CNJ’s goals, especially Goal 3, and to examine whether the guidelines aimed at promptness and social pacification are being effectively achieved. Methodologically, a bibliographic and documentary approach was adopted, with the analysis of legislation, official reports, statistical data, and internal regulations, interpreted through content analysis techniques. The research also carried out a brief comparison between the performance of the TJPI and that of other courts, in order to identify good conciliation practices. The results show that, despite institutional and normative progress, there are still structural, cultural, and operational weaknesses that limit the effectiveness of the conciliation centers in Piauí. The main obstacles identified include insufficient infrastructure, administrative centralization, and a lack of training for conciliators, which hinder the consolidation of a culture of dialogue and the expansion of access to justice. It is concluded that the TJPI needs to strengthen its conciliation policy by adopting decentralization measures and integrating it with the Itinerant Justice programs and university legal centers, so that conciliation can fulfill its social function of promoting pacification and democratization within the judicial system.
