Gestão pública e inclusão jurídica: o papel do núcleo de prática jurídica da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande junto à Comarca de Sousa - Paraíba.

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of democratizing access to the judiciary, seen as an essential right for consolidating the democratic rule of law. Considering the social inequalities that still hinder the use of this right, the aim of the study is to examine the feasibility and effects of setting up a Legal Practice Center of the Federal University of Campina Grande at the Dr. José Mariz State Forum, in the District of Sousa-PB. The research question is based on how implementation can help expand public management and access to local justice. The research uses inductive methodology, with a qualitative focus and descriptive character, using a case study, documentary analysis and historical-normative research. It analyzed the principle of access to justice in Brazilian legislation, the organization and operation of the NPJ-CCJS- UFCG, as well as the processes and obstacles to its implementation in the Forum mentioned. The results indicate that the implementation of the NPJ can be an efficient tactic to promote social justice, providing free legal assistance to the vulnerable population. It also contributes to the practical training of students and to effective public management. It is concluded that the creation of the NPJ in the District of Sousa is an urgent and relevant measure, capable of strengthening citizenship, humanizing legal education and making the justice system more accessible, swift, effective and resolutive.
