The course on Judicial Precedents: Theory and Practice, held by the Superior School of the Judges of the State of Tocantins (ESMAT), began last Thursday (August 26th).
With a total course load of 70 hours, the course aims to train Judges, magistrates, and civil servers to be able to recognize the characteristics and reasons that justify the legal system based on the logic of precedents. Moreover, they will be competent to work with the tools of the current legal system, identifying the elements that make up the precedent, as well as the operational techniques brought by the new Civil Procedure Code for its establishment, in order to understand the magistrate's unique role in the concretization of judicial precedents.
Forty vacancies were offered, distributed among magistrates from the Judiciary of the State of Tocantins; legal advisors to magistrates; and servers from the Judiciary of the State of Tocantins.
The classes are being held via the Platform of the Superior School of the Judges of the State of Tocantins (ESMAT), until October 19th, 2021.
