Brazilian Legal Issues

In this article we analyze the innovation provided by the Juizado Especial Criminal (JECrim) within the Criminal Justice System in Brazil, as well as its effective operation – its practices and procedures – and the main characteristics of its discharge proceedings, based on the findings of the research on JECrim of Belo Horizonte/MG. This article consolidates the results of a set of both qualitative and quantitative research on this Judicial Institution, through the analysis of attitudes, values and beliefs of its members, as well as a systematic survey of the judicial flow of cases sentenced. The results point to the questioning of JECrim/BH as a relevant instance to resolve conflicts in Belo Horizonte, due to the long average time for the solution procedure of a typical case, given the strong bureaucracy implemented by the court as well as the prevalence of an overly formalistic legal culture along with their institutional actors.
