“DILIGÊNCIA CERTA” - AN INTEGRATION TOOL FOR WORKFLOW OPTIMIZATION: The Procedural Intelligence of Judicial Officers
Procedural Celerity; Innovation; Judicial Officers; Technology.
The principles of procedural celerity and judicial efficiency are among the constitutional mandates pursued by the Judiciary. The use of artificial intelligence has been adopted to optimize the administration of justice. In this context, judicial officers play a fundamental role in ensuring the effective conduct of legal proceedings, being responsible for acts of communication and enforcement, as well as for procedural intelligence activities. However, communication and information sharing among judicial officers still face significant obstacles, hindering the efficiency of their duties and resulting in redundancies and outdated information. This research aims to propose a technological solution to optimize workflow and improve integration among judicial officers. Using a qualitative methodology, including a nationwide survey, the study seeks to validate the hypothesis that the lack of integrated communication affects performance in carrying out these duties. The research is expected to lead to the development of a technological tool to be initially implemented in the Judicial Section of Rio Grande do Norte, with potential for replication in other jurisdictions. This tool will enable judicial officers to overcome current challenges and enhance efficiency in the execution of writs and related tasks.
