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 Condence 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 difcult 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.
