On Chapter I you notice the european contextualization with regards to the different approaches to judicial systems. Chapter II brings up the importance of a reform of the portuguese judicial system, emphasizing the specific alternatives and resolutions put in place. However, it's also mentioned the research on the recommendations and resolutions by the CEPEJ (in portuguese, the European Commission for Efficiency and Justice) and, in some cases, also the OPJ (Permanent Observatory of Justice). It would be unavoidable to include a chapter specific to the reform of the portuguese judicial system. In that sense, Chapter III focuses on the new judicial reform whilst also touching on the new court reforms. Chapter IV covers the more and more important question of the Alternative Resolution of Litigations as the closest measure? to the citizens and, in that sense, the importance of access to the law and judicial sponsoring. Chapter V compares the Budgets for Justice for 2008 and 2009. In Chapter VI we channel our attention to a Preliminary Questionnaire directed at a group of Judges, Lawyers and Justice Officers with different ages and salaries. The information obtained in this questionnaire was extracted from the different portuguese regions, which we believe will give us a better and more realistic understanding of the whole issue. The study of the questionnaire can be done in the Appendix. The intention was to propose a channel, a way. Along the study and the research made, I focused on the lack of trust of which the portuguese justice system is a target and I also underlined a tendency, even though a subtle one. I gladly concluded that not only was this a tendency adopted and defended by myself but also by the Commissions and Comitees involved in the observation of said judicial system. The path is paved. All is needed is to safeguard it and ensure its development.porEsta obra atópase baixo unha licenza internacional Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0.
