Atores e seus critérios na atribuição de valor histórico nos Processos Judiciais Gaúchos.

Abstract

The increase in demand for judicial services generated by the complexity of social relations, new rights, and improved access to justice has led to a vertiginous growth in the judiciary's documentary collection over the past four decades. This has put the protection of judicial archives at a standstill: on the one hand, historiographic currents strongly defend the importance of judicial documents as unique historical sources; on the other, approaches to rationalizing public administration excel in reducing storage costs and simplifying processes. In this impasse, the Court of Justice of the State of Rio Grande do Sul was provoked by civil society to promote, in a pioneering way, the rational protection of its collection. And the problem question in this research was: what were the criteria for preservation and disposal of the records of lawsuits concluded in the TJRS? The objective of this dissertation was to identify these criteria in the discussions and deliberations of the "Comissão Interdisciplinar de Preservação de Processos Judiciais Aptos a Descarte" - COMINTER. The understanding of these criteria depended on the description of a broad context of Document Management Programs, Archive Policies, Public Management Policies and several institutions (CNJ, ANPUH, Memorial do Judiciário Gaúcho, AJURIS, Universities etc.). In terms of the methodology used, it was positivistic, descriptive and classifying and focused on the public institutional research field of TJRS and its sectors, and not on the social field. The goal was to elaborate a Simplifying Table of Judicial Process Classification Criteria, in the following categories of analysis: Type of process, defined criterion, author of the criterion, justification of the decision, technical opinion, specificities in the application. With this table, it will be possible to assemble platforms and applications that facilitate the work of both TJRS servers, who deal with the classification of these case files, and researchers, who want to access this collection.
