O ensino das formas consensuais de resolução de conflitos no núcleo de práticas jurídicas: uma avaliação de egressos do curso de direito de uma IES privada em Curitiba/PR

Abstract

The National Council of Justice (CNJ) established consensual conflict resolution methods through Resolution n.º 125/2010, which currently make up the judiciary's public policy system. The aim is to provide an appropriate way to resolve conflicts based on the specific characteristics of each case. The Legal Practice Center (LPC), which facilitates real and simulated legal practice activities for law students, is responsible for incorporating consensual forms of conflict resolution into its practices. This integration began with Resolution CNE/CES n.º 5/2018, which aligns judicial public policy with educational policy. This research investigates how lawyers who graduated from the law program at the Santa Cruz University Center in Curitiba (USC) evaluate the teaching of consensual conflict resolution in the LPC and its impact on their professional performance. The study has three specific objectives: 1) provide a brief historical overview of legal education in Brazil with a focus on LPC regulation; 2) explain Brazilian judicial public policies related to consensual conflict resolution; and 3) describe the implementation of teaching consensual conflict resolution within the LPC at USC. This qualitative research study involves USC Law program graduates. The study draws on theoretical perspectives from Cunha (2007), Pena (2005), Venâncio Filho (2011), Azevedo (2016), Cintra, Grinover, and Dinamarco (2015), Nunes (2016), Bacellar (2012), Cunha (2007), and Fernandes (2020). The data was gathered through an online questionnaire administered via the SurveyMonkey® platform to alumni from the years 2020, 2021, and the first semester of 2022, who were actively practicing as lawyers during the data collection phase. The collected data was subsequently subjected to analysis employing the Thematic Analysis (TA) technique. The findings indicate that the instruction of Forensic and Criminal Procedures (FCRCs) within USC's NPJ (Practice Court Center) has exhibited satisfactory outcomes in alignment with the mandates of public judicial and educational policies. Moreover, the instruction has demonstrated its efficacy in fostering the professional competencies of the participating alumni.
