RELIEFING THE JUDICIARY THROUGH EXTRAJUDICIAL OFFICES

Abstract

It was understood that any action, demand or procedure could only be resolved or carried out by the Judiciary, however, currently, there is the possibility of being resolved in an alternative way, without the participation of the Judiciary, this is the so-called “dejudicialization”. The demand on the Judiciary is increasing. Cases of varying degrees of complexity are overwhelming the judicial sphere, making conflict resolutions increasingly time-consuming. There is a need for so-called “dejudicialization”, which allows extrajudicial offices to take on all cases that are not subject to litigation. The objective of this research is to demonstrate the speed provided by procedures carried out in the extrajudicial route in comparison with the judicial route, to identify the benefits of extrajudicial services for access to justice, mainly in non-litigious procedures, and to analyze the competence of extrajudicial services for carrying out legal acts with security and efficiency. This research is based on bibliographic and documentary research and analysis on the website of the National Council of Justice regarding the number of ongoing processes and the duration of processes in the Judiciary and in the extrajudicial sphere.
