Análise da eficiência do modelo de administração da justiça estadual cearense, entre os anos de 2019 e 2023, à luz da Constituição Federal de 1988

Abstract

Faced with a history of negative ratings in the evaluation indices of the judiciary carried out by the National Council of Justice and published in the "Justice in Numbers" reports, the state court of Ceará was compelled to adopt energetic measures to overcome the challenges brought about by the increase in judicial demands over the years. Between the extinction of jurisdictional units through the linking of districts, to the contracting of a millionaire loan, the objective of this study is to verify the impact of the recent administrative decisions taken by the court in the period between 2019 and April 2023, on the efficiency of the court. Based on bibliographical research associated with the analysis and on the data maintained by the CNJ, the transparency portal of the studied court and news published on its official website, the present research was developed by the deductive and comparative methods. As controversial as the alternatives adopted by the Ceará court have been, the data collected periodically by the CNJ reveal a growing and constant improvement in the court's indices, such as the decrease in the average processing time of cases and increase in the productivity of magistrates, although some aspects even deserve due criticism. Moreover, the concrete assessment of the efficiency of a public service from a constitutional perspective must necessarily include the verification of the adequacy of the measures adopted by the administration in the light of constitutional principles and mandates. The administration of the court must remain attentive, avoiding even unintentionally the infringement of precepts of the Constitution.
