FGV and TJ-RJ

In October 2013, FGV also partnered with Rio de Janeiro Court of Appeals through EMAp. For the TJ-RJ, there's the possibility to anticipate more accurately the litigious behavior in the State and strategically plan the allocation of resources. As for FGV, the agreement will provide a broad agenda of quantitative research under the officiation of the judiciary and access to justice, explained Maria Izabel Camacho.

Just as it will be done in São Paulo, the cooperation of EMAp in TJ-RJ allows the analysis and discussion of methods and solutions to problems raised during the study, from data extracted from the systems of the Court.

The cooperation agreement is deferrable, and was signed for five years.
