At first, it analyses the judiciary crisis rationalizing the fact that this crisis is beyond the judiciary powers, and that it is already involving the State and the society as well, thus one may affirm that the judiciary on its own will not be able to find a solution. Hence, there is the need to search other means to do deal with this issue and especially alternative means for solving conflicts. Secondly, it analyses the crisis of reaching justice, originated by the judiciary crisis itself, it is proposed a re-interpretation of the institute aiming at clarifying the difference between access to justice and access to the judiciary system, taking into consideration the existing alternative means to solve conflicts. At last, it analyses the characteristics and the operation of notarial protest, in order to verify its capacity, as an alternative mean of solving conflicts, thus helping the judiciary system as well as easing the access to justice. In the very end, it presents statistics and data concerning notarial protest in Brazil. It confirms the first hypothesis of this work, which affirms that the protest itself is a great tool in solving conflicts, and one of the consequences of its daily use is the easing of a clogged judiciary system. Combining these thoughts, it is likely to conclude that notarial protest is an effective alternative and sui generis mean of conflict solving. The present study is based on qualitative and quantitative data as well as on previous studies over the subject matter, culminating at its conclusion by an inductive research approach. / O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar a relação que pode ser legitimamente estabelecida entre a crise do Judiciário, o acesso à justiça e o protesto notarial, propondo uma reflexão sobre cada um desses três objetos. Primeiramente, analisa-se a crise do Judiciário ponderando que esta transcendeu os limites deste Poder, envolvendo todo o Estado e a Sociedade; assim, considera-se que o Judiciário, por si só, não poderá sanear sua crise devendo-se buscar subsídios em outros seguimentos, dos quais se destacam os meios alternativos para solução de conflitos. Em seguida, analisa-se a crise de acesso à justiça, motivada pela própria crise do Judiciário, e procura-se uma releitura deste instituto a fim de diferenciar o acesso à justiça do acesso ao Judiciário, que, muitas vezes, pode ser propiciado por meios alternativos de solução de conflito. Foram analisadas as características e operacionalidade do protesto notarial, com o propósito de verificar seu potencial enquanto meio alternativo de solução e pacificação de conflitos, socorrendo, assim o Judiciário e o acesso à justiça, e promovendo a desjudicialização de litígios. Por fim, apresenta estatísticas da experiência de protesto no Brasil, as quais confirmam a hipótese deste trabalho, em dizer, ao final que, constitui-se o protesto em importante ferramenta para a solução de conflitos e, por consequência, para desafogar (e agilizar) o Judiciário, perfazendo-se como um método alternativo sui generis de solução de conflitos. O presente trabalho serviu-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e empírica, com estatísticas, utilizando-se do método indutivo.

"It is against this backdrop of unsatisfacotry enforcement of fundamental human rights enshrined in the Constitution that the role of human rights NGOs in Ethiopia should come to the fore. Thus, apart from monitoring violations and conducting legal awareness programs, there is a need for human rights NGOs in Ethiopia to engage in public interest litigation with a view to facilitating the judical enforcement of fundamental rights representing those who, for various reasons, can not access courts. A number of reasons could be provided to justify why the South African system has been chosen for a lesson to Ethiopia. One reason could be the legal framework put in place to address issues of acces to justice in South Africa. Standing is a crucial question in any venture of public interest litigation. Section 38(d) of the South African Constitution entitles anyone acting in the public interest to approach a competent court and seek remedies when they feel that a fundamental right is infringed or threatened. This very liberal approach to standing is not common in many legal systems. For countries like Ethiopia where there is an extremely tight requirement of standing to institute civil proceedings in courts, such a liberal approach could be an inspiration. In addition to the guarantees given by the Constitution, in South Africa there exists a relatively advanced and dynamic system of subsidiary legislation that could facilitate the full utilisation of the constitutionally recognised rights of access to justice. More relevant to this dissertation are the human rights NGOs in South Africa that are engaged in human rights lawyering in general and public interest litigation in particular. Much could be learnt from the experiences of prominent human rights NGOs such as the Legal Resources Centre and Lawyers for Human Rights. In all, Ethiopia, where the activities of human rights NGOs have not yet gone further than the monitoring of violations and fragmented attempts of awareness raising campaigns, could indeed draw lessons from the South African experience in this regard. ... The study has five chapters. The first chapter deals with introductory matters such as objective, methodology and literature survey. In the second chapter, a working definition of the concept of public interest litigation, the rationale behind it, issues such as access to justice and locus standi will be discussed. The third chapter is devoted to the analysis of public interest litigation as employed in different legal systems. With a view to providing a broad perspective to the practice the cases of France, the United States and Canada are presented. However, the chapter will focus more on the Indian and South African systems, mainly because of the nature of the problems public interest litigation addresses in the two countries. There will be a fourth chapter dedicated to the examination of the existing legal and institutional framework in Ethiopia in light of the background presented in the previous chapters. The fifth chapter deals with the conclusion and recommendations aimed at pointing out the major lessons to be drawn to introduce public interest litigation in Ethiopia." -- Introduction. / Prepared under the supervision of Professor JR de Ville at the Community Law Centre, Faculty of Law, University of the Western Cape, Cape Town, South Africa / Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2005. / http://www.chr.up.ac.za/academic_pro/llm1/dissertations.html / Centre for Human Rights / LLM

<p>Decades and policies come and go, and the ominous problem of corruption remains almost unaltered. Some of the most sought-after policies for corruption deterrence focus on institutional reforms aimed at assuring the right and effective access to information, reinforcing rule of law, tackling impunity, and increasing integrity standards for public servants. The aim of this dissertation is to test whether the impact of these policies over corruption is traceable at the subnational level of mexico and the united states. Seeking to accomplish this purpose, statistics measuring corruption, transparency and relevant variables are analyzed through ols regression and correlation methods. The findings point that spite of the evident benefits of transparency for democratic governance, under the methodology selected and with the ensuing subnational statistics, it is not possible to affirm that corruption is noticeable affected by transparency or integrity variables. Implications of these findings ask for a revision on the manner corruption is measured, and to devise which sort of circumstances bolster or thwart transparency´s prowess to cause a dent over corruption.</p> <p> </p>

La Constitution du Royaume de Thaïlande de 2007 prévoit une refonte des juridictions administratives avec la séparation de la juridiction judiciaire afin d’assurer la protection des libertés du citoyen face à la puissance publique et de réparer les préjudices causés par l'administration. L’accès au prétoire du juge reste subordonné à un ensemble de règles procédurales. Toutefois, la simplicité des règles semble dominer à première vue, puisque suffit une demande écrite, sans l’obligation d’intervention d’un avocat. Ainsi, la procédure inquisitoire confère au juge l'initiative de la poursuite et la recherche des preuves incombe à l’administration.Dans un contexte marqué par un bouleversement des principes régissant l’accès au juge administratif, la question de l’accès au juge rencontre en pratique de nombreuses limitations issues de la multiplication des règles procédurales ainsi que de l’interprétation du juge. Tel est le cas, notamment, ainsi que le démontre cette thèse, des exigences relatives à la qualité, à la capacité à agir du requérant ou du « cercle de l’intérêt ». Cette mise en perspective des aspects fondamentaux et techniques du contentieux administratif thaïlandais a été influencée par des pays occidentaux, comme la France. Cette étude sur les dimensions théoriques et pratiques de l’accès au juge administratif en Thaïlande propose une réflexion sur la situation actuelle et future du contentieux administratif comme garant de l’État de droit. / The Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand 2007 defines an overhaul of the administrative courts with the separated jurisdictions in order to protect the fundamental rights and freedom of all citizens against the misused of state power, to repair any damages caused by the administration, and to control the legality of administrative acts. Moreover, the regulations on how to bring the cases to courts are simplified into uncomplicated written form and can be conducted without a lawyer. Since in the inquisitorial system lets the judge to gather evidences as to conduct the investigations with the administration.However, there are some restrictions about bringing cases to courts which included the conditions of the applicant's abilities to act and "the circle of interest to sue". This perspective of the fundamental aspects of administrative lawsuit has been influenced by western countries, including France. This research study both the theoretical and practical dimensions on how to bring cases to administrative courts which reflect current and future situation through the analysis of the Thai and French administrative lawsuit systems.

Os Juizados Especiais Cíveis são atualmente no Brasil a principal experiência para a efetivação do acesso à justiça, constituindo-se em uma via judiciária estatal de baixo custo e fácil acesso aos cidadãos para a solução de seus conflitos e garantia de seus direitos. Pesquisas e levantamentos sobre o desempenho desse modelo indicam que, ao invés de conflitos cotidianos, é cada vez maior a presença de demandas de consumidores contra prestadores de serviço público. A presente dissertação analisa os tipos de autores, reclamados e ações interpostas em três Juizados Especiais Cíveis localizados em regiões de diferentes perfis sócio-econômicos do Município de São Paulo com o objetivo de verificar a presença deste tipo de litígio e a hipótese se esses Juizados tornaram-se de fato um \"balcão de reclamações\" contra a prestação de serviços públicos. / Currently, in Brazil, the Small Claims Courts are the main experience of effectiveness in access to justice. They are state judiciary institutions that offer low costs and easy access to the citizens for the solution of their conflicts and guarantee of their rights. Researches and surveys on this model\'s performance indicate that there is an increasing presence of demands from consumers against private agents that render public services, instead of other daily conflicts. The present study analyzes the types of plaintiffs, defendants and judicial actions in three Small Claims Courts located in regions of different social-economic profiles in São Paulo City. The aim is to verify the presence of this type of litigation and the hypothesis whether these Courts had become in fact a \" claims counter\" against private agents that render public services.

It is known that the Republic Constitution of 1988, founded on the principles of Dignity of the Human Being and Citizenship, reinforce the importance of popular participation in building a Democratic State of Law.

As a consequence, with the aim of ensuring the creation of an inclusive justice system, plural and egalitarian, the Public Defense, and especially the Public Defense of the State of São Paulo, provides tools to facilitate the access of vulnerable people to the justice system, once its recognizes the social participation as the basis of a Democratic State of Law. It is necessary to study the legal field that governs the feasibility of operation of the Public Defense, either at the national level, and internationally, as well as study and analyze research carried out in the country which recognizes the important role of the Public Defense for the realization of the social participation and implementation of citizenship. Besides, it s quite important to analyze the III Diagnostic of Public Defenses in Brazil, as well as decisions of the Supreme Court that recognizes the role of the Public Defense as an essential link to provide access of the socially excluded to Law and Justice by contributing to the establishment of a democratic governance within the justice system / A Defensoria Pública é a instituição constitucionalmente prevista para exercer a assistência jurídica, integral e gratuita da população carente e vulnerável do Estado Democrático de Direito.

The first deals with the fundamental institutes for the comprehension of access to justice. The study begins with the conception of the state and it s relation with politic and after with law. Afterwards philosophical theories are exposed about the concept of justices throughout history. So, a proposal of access to justice is created as access to fair juridical to order with the receiving of justice. The second chapter begins with the examination of juridical case concepts and of case law. The matters that involve juridical case relationship are analysed, under the focus the correct legal process, presenting some other constitutional principles that relate with it, such as, the contrary principle, the free motivating convincement, the agreement or the reduction and, finally, the study of the elements of action: parts, cause of ordering and order, and as they link the justice activity always with en phases on the effectiveness of justice guard under it s characteristic of making of the entity responsible for pacifying of social conflicts / A presente dissertação tem por objetivo examinar o acesso à justiça no direito processual civil brasileiro e, para tanto, estende-se por dois capítulos. O primeiro aborda os institutos fundamentais para compreensão do acesso à justiça. O estudo se inicia com a concepção de Estado e sua relação com a política e depois com o Direito. Em seguida são expostas teorias filosóficas sobre o conceito de justiça no decorrer da história. Formula-se, então, proposta de acesso à justiça como acesso à ordem jurídica justa com o recebimento de justiça. O segundo capítulo começa pelo exame dos conceitos jurídicos de processo e de direito processual. São então analisados os pontos que envolvem a relação jurídica processual, sob o enfoque do devido processo legal, vislumbrando alguns outros princípios constitucionais que com ele se relacionam, como o princípio do contraditório, do livre convencimento motivado e da congruência ou da adstrição da sentença. E, por derradeiro, o estudo dos elementos da ação: partes, causa de pedir e pedido, e como os mesmos vinculam a atividade jurisdicional, sempre com ênfase na efetividade da tutela jurisdicional, sob o seu caráter de instrumentalidade, de entidade responsável pela pacificação dos conflitos sociais

Because the thing judged is an institution expressly provided in the Brazilian constitutional text, in its art. 5, item XXXVI, the interpretation that is usually given to the rules under the constitution, which govern the action seeking rescission, is restrictive and focused on the prevailing idea of the juridical security, seen as a sub-principle of the Democratic Rule of Law. The reality is that the access to justice, which is also a sub-principle of the Democratic Rule of Law, was given a new dimension with the enactment of the 1988 Brazilian Constitution, and both its meaning and scope were broadened. In this context the access to justice was no longer seen merely as the right to request provision of the judicial protection. Its content became more comprehensive, involving the right to obtain the effective and efficacious juridical protection, which puts the two perspectives closer: the one of the reality established as a result of the lawsuit and the other consequent of the material right. In summary, the access to justice comprises the right to obtain a decision on the grounds of Law. By becoming aware of the particulars of the actual case, the judge is expected to find, in the general and abstract rule, a solution that conforms to the constitutional provisions and principles, as well as to the Fundamental Rights. The rescission action, provided that the admissibility requirements are met, is a second opportunity to make feasible the accomplishment of such goal. Based on such premise and seeking to make compatible the values at stake (namely, on one side, the thing judged and the stability that it inspires and, on the other side, the access to justice and the trust of the person under judicial protection that the Law will be enforced), this paper seeks to give suggestions based on doctrine and jurisprudence for a more flexible interpretation of the rules below the constitution, which govern the rescission action in the civil procedural system both with respect to the judgment of admissibility, and to the judgments making the previous judgment null (rescindente) and handing down a new decision on the action (rescisório), so that the rescission action of independent impugnation may serve its relevant role in the Democratic Rule of Law / A ação rescisória é meio para desconstituição da coisa julgada material. Uma vez que a coisa julgada é instituto previsto expressamente no texto constitucional, no seu art. 5º, inciso XXXVI, a interpretação que se costuma dar às regras infraconstitucionais, que disciplinam a ação rescisória, é restritiva, voltada à idéia prevalecente da segurança jurídica, vista como subprincípio do Estado Democrático de Direito. Ocorre que o acesso à justiça, que também é subprincípio do Estado Democrático de Direito, foi redimensionado, a partir da Constituição Federal de 1988, alargando-se seu sentido e alcance. Nesse contexto, o acesso à justiça deixou de ser visto apenas como o direito de pedir a prestação da tutela jurisdicional. Seu conteúdo é mais abrangente, envolvendo o direito de obter uma tutela jurisdicional efetiva e eficaz, que aproxime os dois planos: aquele da realidade criada como resultado do processo e o outro que decorre do direito material. Em síntese, o acesso à justiça compreende o direito de obter uma decisão fundada no Direito. Espera-se do juiz que, compreendendo as particularidades do caso concreto, encontre, na norma geral e abstrata, uma solução que esteja em conformidade com as disposições e princípios constitucionais, bem assim com os Direitos Fundamentais. A ação rescisória, desde que preenchidos os requisitos de admissibilidade, é uma segunda oportunidade para se viabilizar a realização desse fim. Com base nessa premissa e procurando compatibilizar os valores em jogo, quais sejam de um lado, a coisa julgada e a estabilidade que inspira e, de outro, o acesso à justiça e a confiança do jurisdicionado de que será aplicado o Direito, buscou-se, neste trabalho, a partir da doutrina e da jurisprudência, dar sugestões para uma interpretação mais flexível das regras infraconstitucionais que regulamentam a ação rescisória na sistemática processual civil brasileira, seja no que concerne ao juízo de admissibilidade, seja quanto aos juízos rescindente e rescisório, de forma a que essa ação de impugnação autônoma cumpra seu relevante papel no Estado Democrático de Direito

It looks as well to analyse the pertinence or not of adopting a filter to the ends it is purposed to. The study is justified by the profound alterations that the subject adoption will bring to all the system, even causing a paradigm shift on the extraordinary appeal. For a better understanding of those alterations, it will first examine the hystorical aspects, placing the creation of the extraordinary appeal and the Supreme Federal Court on the Brazilian juridical system. Similar subjects, adopted in other countries, will also be analyzed, as well as the courses of the Brazilian appeal filter version. It will raise the cultural question, of operators and those under jurisdiction, facing the juridical situations, on the Brazilian scenario. At last, it will collate the subject creation and legitimity to the constitutional guarantee of process reasonable length and access to Justice / O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar os impactos que a introdução do instituto da repercussão geral no recurso extraordinário trará ao sistema jurídico brasileiro, especialmente sobre a crise que assola o Supremo Tribunal Federal, bem como analisar a pertinência ou não da adoção do filtro para o fim que se propõe. Justifica-se o estudo pela profunda alteração que a adoção do instituto trará sobre todo o sistema, provocando inclusive mudança de paradigma do recurso extraordinário. Para melhor compreensão dessas alterações, primeiramente examinar-se-á os aspectos históricos, situando a criação do recurso extraordinário e o Supremo Tribunal Federal, no sistema jurídico brasileiro. Serão também analisados institutos similares, adotados em outros países, bem como os meandros da versão brasileira do filtro recursal. Colocar-se-á a questão cultural dos operadores e jurisdicionados frente às situações jurídicas na cena brasileira. Por fim, cotejar-seá a criação e legitimidade do instituto frente à garantia constitucional da duração razoável do processo e o acesso à Justiça
