Bahia Court of Justice judicial and administrative reforms

Overview

The Court of Justice of the State of Bahia (TJ-BA) has undertaken a series of structural and administrative reforms aimed at increasing judicial efficiency and organizational capacity.

Initial reforms included the installation of a new 2nd Criminal Court in Brumado to redistribute caseloads and accelerate criminal proceedings. Additionally, the court plenary approved a regimental amendment to reorganize civil organs at the second instance. Following a state law increasing the number of judges from 70 to 75, the court doubled its Civil Chambers from five to ten, creating specialized divisions for Public and Private Law.

Recent institutional updates include the inauguration of new Administrative Supervisors for the Integrated Registries by President Judge José Edivaldo Rocha Rotondano. This restructuring, formalized by State Law No. 15.170, aims to improve workflow organization, productivity monitoring, and procedural standardization through centralized supervision. The court also recognized individual legal contributions, such as the induction of Judge Nágila Maria Sales Brito as an academic member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Arts, History, and Literature.

Furthermore, the TJ-BA marked the first anniversary of its Judiciary Integrity System with an Integrity Meeting. The system, a collaborative effort involving the High Administration, the General Secretariat of the Presidency, the Integrity Committee, and the Judiciary Controller's Office, seeks to promote ethics and transparency. During the event, 2nd Vice-President Mário Albiani Júnior emphasized that integrity is a ‘continuous commitment that transcends different administrations’.
