Pandemia do Covid-19: impactos no acesso à justiça por pessoas hipossuficientes no estado de Mato Grosso

Abstract

Access to justice is a constitutional right and principle guaranteed by the State and by Section XXXV of Article 5 of the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988. This undergraduate thesis in Law, through this guarantee of access to justice, addresses how access for socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals in the state of Mato Grosso during the Covid-19 pandemic period, in order to observe how this access was affected during this time lapse. The thesis is organized into three chapters, with the first chapter providing the historical context of access to justice in Brazil, the second discussing the transition from access to justice from ancient to modern times and the emergence of free legal assistance, and the third chapter examining how access to justice fared during and post the Covid-19 pandemic period in the state of Mato Grosso. The methodology used involved data analysis based on research by other authors and researchers focused on this area, as well as bibliographical and documentary research methods, including articles, documents, indices, reports, decisions, administrative acts, among others. Therefore, the research will contribute to the gathering and presentation of data on access to justice during the pandemic period, concluding that the technological evolution of the modern world, coupled with the State's swift action in seeking means to address the pandemic situation, has led to the creation of Justice 4.0, which aims to drive the digital transformation of the Judiciary to ensure faster, more effective, and accessible services through internet connectivity assistance with effective and easy-to-execute tools for access to justice for all parties involved, from economically disadvantaged individuals harmed to the judges, thus expediting the legal process and making it less cumbersome.,
