ABSTRACT
The goal of the pap er is to desc ribe the de sign, developme nt and consolid a-
tion of a measur e method for the publi c percepti on of judicial p erformanc e
in Brazil — the Brazilia n Justice Condence I ndex (JCIBraz il). Since April
2009, JCIBrazil ha s been published quar terly, amounting to twelve waves.
The overall re sults point to a trend of p oor assessment of the j udiciary as
a public ser vice provider so th at its slowness in response, its high cost and
the difcult to use it. Although we have the se results, the Br azilian pol icy-
makers should r ely more closely on those st atistics in orde r to align public
policie s to the improvement of the s ystem. Attention mu st be given not
only to the produc tion of studies, re search and data o n the justice syste m,
but also to the us e and application of studi es results and data.
