Case management is a judicial management and oversight tool for achieving the key goals of the justice system.
Operators have begun to promote its use in judicial systems based on its development in comparative experience. Brazil has been a pioneer in the region in regard to introducing case management. There is thus a need to have the sufficient knowledge to assess its use based on its potential for improving judicial systems and the challenges and risks that it represents.
This issue presents a new perspective on justice systems, establishing new concepts and procedural institutions, roles for the stakeholders in the process, and forms of imparting civil justice that lead us to question traditional approaches.
Finally, case management allows us to explain, justify, and articulate various topics related to the management and efficiency that have been incorporated into judicial systems without a theory that could be used to guide its practice.
