It is the second of two World Bank sponsored studies on the Brazilian judicial system. Its findings, while provocative, were obviously limited in their generalization, and as the study concluded, raised as many questions as they answered. This second effort is intended to address some of these questions by taking a broader, if less detailed look at sector operations - here defining the sector (or system) not just as the courts, but as the multiple formal and informal institutions involved in the resolution of conflicts through the application and enforcement of the legal framework.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACRONYMSADJUDICATIONAMOUNT DUEAPPELLATE COURTSARRANGEMENTSASSETSATTACHMENT OF ASSETSAUTOMATIONBATCH PROCESSINGBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYBINDERBINDINGCLAIMCLAIMANTSCLASSIFICATIONCOLLECTION PROCEEDINGSCOMPUTERSCONTENTSCORRUPTIONCOUNSELCOURT CONGESTIONCOURT PERFORMANCECOURT SETTLEMENTSCOURT SYSTEMCOURT SYSTEMSCOURTSCREDITORCREDITORSCRIMINAL CASESDATA ENTRYDEBTDEBT COLLECTIONDEBTORDEBTORSDEBTSDESCRIPTIONDISCLOSUREDISPOSITIONDISPOSITIONSDOCUMENTSDUE PROCESS PROTECTIONSELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONSENTRIESENTRYENTRY POINTEQUIPMENTEXPERT OPINIONFAMILY COURTSFILINGFILINGSGARNISHMENTGENERALIZATIONSGOVERNMENT ATTORNEYSICTINDICESINFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINJUNCTIONSINNOVATIONSINSOLVENTINSOLVENT DEBTORSINTERESTED PARTIESINVESTIGATIONJUDGEJUDGESJUDGMENTJUDGMENTSJUDICIAL ADMINISTRATIONJUDICIAL AGENCIESJUDICIAL COUNCILJUDICIAL CRISISJUDICIAL DISTRICTSJUDICIAL EFFICIENCYJUDICIAL INSTITUTIONSJUDICIAL PERFORMANCEJUDICIAL PROCEEDINGJUDICIAL REFORMJUDICIAL STATISTICSJUDICIAL SYSTEMJUDICIAL SYSTEMSJUDICIARIESJUDICIARYJURISDICTIONJURISDICTIONSJUSTICEJUSTICE SYSTEMJUSTICE SYSTEMSLABOR COURTSLEGAL ACTIONLEGAL CASESLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL SERVICESLIMITED ACCESSLITIGATIONLOGICMANAGEMENT INFORMATIONMANDATESNEGOTIATIONOUT-OF-COURT SETTLEMENTSPAYMENTS TO CLAIMANTSPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPHONEPOLICEPOLICY FORMULATIONPRIVATE CREDITORPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCTIVITYPROPERTY REGISTRIESPUBLIC CONFIDENCEPUBLIC DISCLOSUREPUBLIC OPINIONPUBLIC UTILITIESRAW DATAREADINGRELIABILITYREMEDIESREMEDYRESEARCHERSRESULTRESULTSSALARIESSEARCHSITESMALL CLAIMS COURTSSTANDARDIZATIONSTATE COURTSSUPERVISIONTARGETSTIME PERIODSTITLETRACKING SYSTEMSUSERUSERSUSESWAGESWEBSITEWEBSITESWorld Bank10.1596/14950
