Activities
In the State of Tocantins, the judiciary has been developing actions to preserve memory and document management through the Jurisprudence, Documentation and Memory Commission, chaired by Justice Helvécio de Brito Maia, as well as the commissions of permanent memory management and document management, chaired by Justice Ângela Prudente. A mark in the Document Management Policy of the Judiciary of the State of Tocantins is the recent publication of the Resolution establishing the Temporality Tables for judicial and administrative proceedings, with the publication of the Resolution number 8 of May 2nd, 2024.
Judiciary Memory Day
The memory of the courts and the legacy of the personalities who made up the Brazilian justice gained a historic mark on April 14th, 2020, when the National Council of Justice (CNJ) approved, in plenary session, the institution of the Judiciary Memory Day. May 10th will enter the justice calendar to celebrate the cultural heritage built since colonial Brazil, for present and future generations. The creation of the commemorative date was suggested by the Committee of the National Program for Document Management and Memory of the Judiciary (Proname), based on consultation and voting by professionals and specialists in the area of memory from several courts in the country.
The creation of the commemorative date encourages the promotion of actions to preserve the memorial collections of the courts. The archives, libraries and museums of the courts store, in addition to documents and cases, objects and furniture that allow us to retell the history of society and the Brazilian State. The initiative covers the entire justice system in Brazil, including all spheres of the judiciary: federal, state, military, electoral and labor.
History
The date refers to the charter of May 10th, 1808, issued by King João VI, who created the House of Appeal of Brazil. The initiative was implemented two months after the royal family settled in the State of Rio de Janeiro, where they arrived on March 7th of that year to escape the threat of invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte and preserve the Portuguese independence.
