O uso da tecnologia para o aprimoramento do acesso à justiça dos assistidos do SAJ/UFPEL: entre a vulnerabilidade e a efetivação

Abstract

This research project focuses on the study of the use of technology to improve access to justice. The primary objective is to identify whether technology can be considered an instrument for facilitating and improving access to justice or constitutes an obstacle for people in situations of social vulnerability. An analysis will be carried out on the challenges of contemporary society in the age of technology and, in the sequence, notes will be made on inequalities and vulnerabilities in the Brazilian context. Subsequently, an approach will be made about the access to justice movement, especially in a digital environment. Finally, empirical research will be carried out to diagnose the ability to access justice in relation to technology or the lack of it, and to what extent this occurs. From this perspective, we intend to answer: How can technology be considered an instrument for facilitating and improving access to justice or an obstacle for people in situations of social and cybernetic vulnerability who seek the legal assistance service of the Federal University of Pelotas? For that, the hypothetical-deductive method will be used and, in an auxiliary way, the empirical one, with bibliographic and documentary research. Such a study is justified in view of the contemporaneity of the theme added to the need to verify the fulfillment of the constitutional precepts in the scope of access to justice from the use of technology, and if they are aligned with social reality. The research concludes that despite the existing vulnerabilities as a result of the extreme inequality, it is possible to facilitate access to justice with the use of technology and guarantee remote legal assistance to the low-income population. constitutionally adequate access, compatible with contemporary social conflicts.
