NOVO NORMAL NA JUSTIÇA DO TRABALHO PÓS-PANDEMIA DE COVID-19: ACESSO À JUSTIÇA E MÉTODOS ADEQUADOS DE RESOLUÇÃO DE CONFLITOS

Abstract

The research proposal of this monograph is to identify whether the policies of appropriate methods for resolving conflicts implemented by the Labor Judiciary during the COVID-19 pandemic period effectively ensured access to justice for the litigants. The research will be based on documentary and bibliographic analysis. The first chapter of the work provides a historical framework of the evolution of Labor Law over the years, aligning with the authors Cappelletti and Garth's Theory of Access to Justice and the Renewal Waves. Subsequently, the study focuses specifically on the Third Renewal Wave, examining the self-composing methods of mediation and conciliation, and their applicability in labor law. The aim is to present the specificities of Resolution 125/10, the regulations issued by the CSJT, and the utilization of mediation and conciliation techniques. Lastly, the implications of the pandemic context and the use of technology to legitimize access to justice for workers and employers were analyzed, proposing new ways to utilize a fully digital judiciary and self-composing methods as swift and effective solutions for access to justice.
