MEDIATION AS AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Abstract

In recent years, the Judiciary has been overwhelmed by lawsuits with no prospect of a quick and efficient resolution. Thus, Mediation has sought to solve this problem by introducing operational mechanisms that facilitate and speed up the processes. In view of this, the present study aims to conduct a study on the legal formalities of Mediation in the new civil procedural text. This measure serves as a relief for the Brazilian Judiciary. In the methodology, a literature review was carried out based on the Scielo and Google Scholar research databases. In the results, given the importance of resolving conflicts and disputes that have been overwhelming the Judiciary, Mediation has proven to be an effective means of resolving this problem. With the advent of the 2015 Code of Civil Procedure, this procedure has expanded, placing greater emphasis on ease and speed in resolving cases. Thus, mediation in the context of the Brazilian Judiciary has proven to be an effective tool with several positive results. Its growing use reflects not only the search for more agile and accessible forms of conflict resolution, but also the response to the limitations of the traditional litigation model, which tends to be more time-consuming and costly.
