Abstract

Law No. 9.099/1995 modernized the Judiciary by establishing the Special Courts to make justice more efficient and accessible. Three decades later, its evolution reflects significant progress. In this context, examining the role of Civil Special Courts within the Court of Justice of Sergipe is particularly relevant. This legislation played a crucial role in democratizing access to justice and expediting dispute resolution. This study explores the evolution of Law No. 9.099/1995 and assesses the effectiveness of Civil Special Courts in Sergipe, focusing on their contribution to expanding access to justice. The research also evaluates the law’s impact on the legal system and how it has shaped the operations of the Sergipean Court. Moreover, the informality and procedural simplifications introduced by the law have empowered citizens without legal expertise, reducing dependence on intermediaries and promoting autonomous conflict resolution. By analyzing the development of Special Courts over the past three decades, this study contributes to the ongoing discussion on their effectiveness and future improvements. The goal is to enhance their structure, ensuring a more accessible, efficient, and responsive judicial system. The research employs both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, combining exploratory and descriptive approaches, and is based on data from recognized scientific sources.
