Abstract

The judiciary has a very great importance in an organized and politicized organized society, since it judges the disputes of citizens and other parties. Nowadays, there is a growing need for a response from the judiciary regarding the speed of trials, since the delay in these cases causes great embarrassment to society according to the CNJ, the average waiting time in TRFs ) for a process in the knowledge phase receiving a sentence is 1.7 years (www.cnj.jus.br, 2016).In a system with Strategic Planning and Balanced Score Card (Norton and Kaplan, 1992), it is essential that public service providers take into account efficiency in the judgment of processes, which is the main service of the judiciary. In this monograph, a study of the efficiency of Civil Courts of Federal Justice in Ceará is carried out using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology. Information was collected on the number of cases judged and filed, and the number of employees in each of the 9 Civil Courts in December 2011 to 2013, which made possible an empirical study of the identification of the poles at the frontier of efficiency and those that are distant. The main results showed that the overall productivity of the rods varied between the years (decreased in 2012 and increased in 2013), and that individual variations were also observed annually between rods. The rod that most stood out in regularity and efficiency standard was the first rod. It is important to verify in a qualitative complementary analysis the operational differential of this, which can be an important reference for the overall increase of the efficiency of this public service.
