The deadline for registering for the first edition of the Judiciary Innovation Award is this Friday (July 26th). Initiatives that implement creative ideas in the provision of services to the population will be considered innovative actions.
“The first Judiciary Innovation Award is a unique opportunity for us to recognize and highlight the transformative initiatives that are driving the Brazilian Judiciary. It's a call for all courts to share their best practices, promoting efficiency, transparency and access to justice,” said board member Daniela Madeira.
To compete for the award, teams must necessarily be made up of a magistrate or civil server, but it can also include trainees, lay Judges, conciliators, mediators or young learners.
Know the categories
The first category, Innovative Judicial Management, will include initiatives that implement: advanced management tools, renewed administrative processes, updated organizational structures, efficient working methods and modern management practices.
The practices should promote significant changes in the internal routines of the institution, with an emphasis on improving organizational processes, especially in the support area of judicial bodies, resulting in more noticeable internal benefits.
The second, Innovative Judicial Technology, is aimed at initiatives whose central focus is on procedural improvement through the adoption of new technologies (use of SOFTWARE, applications, equipment, among others) to support the provision of services, with a view to adopt Information and Communication Technologies as the central axis of innovation.
The innovations expected in this category are those that focus on providing direct benefits to users of public services, such as the use of Visual Law to make legal information more understandable, the creation of accessible documents that promote inclusion and initiatives that encourage the participation of society in the supervision and control of judicial services.
The last category, Innovative Judicial Services for Users, is aimed at initiatives that improve access to and delivery of judicial services to the public, including new forms of interaction among people and internal or external entities involved in the decision-making process.
When registering, you will have to opt for a sub-category: Innovative Ideas and Innovations with Proven Results. The former should include proposals that have not yet entered the execution phase, and may be authored by individuals or teams and do not necessarily come from Innovation Labs.
The second is intended for initiatives that have been in operation for at least a year and that produce quantifiable results, and it should be submitted by the Innovation Labs of Judicial Branch bodies.
