Abstract

The right of access to information is guaranteed by the principle of publicity, foreseen in the Federal Constitution of 1988, but until 2011, another interpretation of this right was in force. Given this, to assure the guarantee the exercise of this right, the Law of Access to Information was created in 2012, in order to overcome the logic of secrecy and make publicity a general rule. All federative entities and organs of the Direct and Indirect Public Administration, including the Judiciary, are passive of this legislation and perform transparency in two ways: actively or passively. The main objective of this work is to analyze the level of active transparency practiced by the Court of Justice of Paraíba, which the main representative of the Judiciary in our State. As preparation of the present study, a research was carried out on the website of the respective body, based on a table prepared by the author in the light of Resolution 215/2015 of the National Council of Justice, which regulates LAI to all components of the Judiciary; as well as comparisons with a similar research, elaborated by the CNJ itself, in order to identify convergent and divergent points in its results. As outcome, we can consider that the TJPB complies with most of the provisions in the Resolution, diverging from the results of the CNJ's research, and it is not possible to determine if there was an improvement in compliance with the legislation within the period of disclosure of these results and the accomplishment of this work.
