The Goals of the National Council of Justice

In 2009 the National Council of Justice instituted nationwide strategic planning stipulating mandatory targets for all the country's Courts of Justice. This study sought to understand the perceptions of judges and civil servants about the fulfilment of these goals based on a study of the Rio de Janeiro State Court of Justice and how this process influences the strengthening of strategic planning in this Court. Interviews were conducted with judges justices judges' secretaries administrative directors and civil servants all of whom work at the TJERJ. The results of the research show that although there is not widespread knowledge of the strategic planning in force or even if the targets are not fully understood the fact that they are being met is positive for the court's planning.
