Oral, written and electronic proceedings and their efficiency

Abstract

This article explores the forms used in cases of conflict resolution within the sphere of civil law. Among these forms are orality, characterized by its informality, the written form that still dominates this part of the law in most of the world and the electronic form which has been increasing in recent years with technological advances. According to the author is very rare a purely oral procedure, since it must have at least one document in writing, like an agreement, a protocol or a sentence. In a study throughout history, it was observed that the writing form, which features more formal legal procedures is more present than other forms.
