The new Chief Justice (STJ) yesterday warned in his inaugural speech that judicial decisions must be “structured, reasoned and written in a clear manner and that they, when they have or should have a public impact, are communicated in such a way that they are understood by the majority citizens.”
Courts should abandon the “baroque style” of decisions that has led to a “pretentious judicial culture” and strive to apply the law fairly to a particular case, said Counsel to Judge João Cura Mariano.
Joao Cura Mariano understands that justice needs urgent reforms, but not structural ones. “The urgency lies, rather, in a set of sectoral and specific measures, many of which are neuralgic, which allow the judicial system to respond effectively, and that means in a timely manner, to all new demands and challenges,” defended the new president of the Supreme Court.
