Simplificação da linguagem jurídica no direito previdenciário: uso do QR Code na democratização do acesso à justiça

Abstract

This study analyzes the phenomenon of juridiquês (legal jargon) in Brazil, examining its historical origins, social impacts, and practical consequences for access to justice, with particular emphasis on beneficiaries of the National Social Security Institute (INSS). The research adopts a qualitative approach, with a theoretical and analytical nature, based on bibliographic review, normative analysis, and examination of recent institutional initiatives. It demonstrates that juridiquês—characterized by excessively technical, hermetic, and inaccessible legal language—is not merely a stylistic feature, but a historically constructed practice associated with power structures, social distinction, and informational exclusion. The study shows that the lack of comprehension of administrative and judicial decisions produces concrete effects, including limitations on the effective exercise of rights, dependence on professional intermediaries, increased judicialization, and the reproduction of social inequalities, especially in the field of Social Security Law. The research examines recent institutional initiatives aimed at promoting plain language, such as the CNJ Plain Language Pact, Law No. 15.263/2025, and other normative and educational measures. However, it concludes that such initiatives, while relevant, tend to operate within a long-term horizon of cultural change. In this context, the study proposes the use of standardized QR codes in judicial and administrative social security decisions as a complementary tool for linguistic mediation, allowing citizens to access clear and accessible explanations through the gov.br portal. The proposal is presented as a technically feasible, low-cost solution with immediate potential impact, contributing to the democratization of access to justice and the effectiveness of fundamental rights.
