backThe Superior Court of Justice (STJ) has officially opened the new Judicial Center for Conflict Resolution (Cejusc/STJ), designed as a welcoming space focused on active listening and consensual dispute resolution. Located in the Administrative Building, the space was created to facilitate mediation and conciliation, even in cases already pending before the high court. STJ President Minister Herman Benjamin emphasized the importance of leading by example, noting that consensual methods are both a right of the parties and a duty of Brazilian judges.
Coordinated by Minister Nancy Andrighi, the Cejusc features three specialized chambers and may receive referrals from reporting judges with the consent of the parties involved. For the minister, the new center is the fulfillment of a personal aspiration and a statement that even at the highest judicial levels, dialogue is possible. The space includes features such as chromotherapy to create a calming environment and aims to bypass later stages like enforcement, fostering faster and more effective agreements. The launch event was attended by members of all three branches of government and representatives from civil society.
