Access to justice and legislative policies for dejudicialization

Abstract

This article examines dejudicialization as a tool for realizing the fundamental right of access to justice in a democratic state governed by the rule of law. It begins with the recognition that the Brazilian judiciary faces a structural crisis, characterized by slow and inefficient conflict resolution, which requires the expansion of adequate and accessible avenues for the protection of rights. The research investigates how dejudicialization, especially through legislative policies, can contribute to the construction of a multi-door justice system. Broadly speaking, it seeks to answer the following question: What is the role and importance of legislative dejudicialization measures in building a Brazilian multi-door justice system that contributes to effective access to justice? The article is divided into three parts: first, it analyzes the crisis in the judiciary and the emergence of dejudicialization; then, it discusses the foundations of the theory of multi-door justice; finally, it addresses the role of the Legislative Branch in promoting extrajudicial mechanisms for conflict resolution, highlighting the importance of legislative participation in fostering dejudicialization.
