Judicial expansion and modernization in Mato Grosso do Sul

The judicial infrastructure in Mato Grosso do Sul is undergoing expansion and digital modernization. The Federal Regional Court of the 3rd Region (TRF-3) authorized the establishment of new Federal Courts in Três Lagoas, Corumbá, and Naviraí to decentralize the judiciary and manage increasing caseloads. These units are tasked with handling civil, criminal, environmental, and health law, with a specific focus on transnational border crimes, agrarian disputes, and financial fraud.

In tandem with physical expansion, the Court of Justice of Mato Grosso do Sul (TJMS) is advancing digital transformation by implementing the eproc system. This electronic process management platform, developed by the Federal Regional Court of the 4th Region (TRF4), is being rolled out to replace the older Justice Automation System (SAJ).

As of September 23, 2026, the TJMS has expanded the eproc system to include all civil competencies in the districts of Dourados, Três Lagoas, and Corumbá, including 2nd Degree Civil processes. This transition aims to consolidate a single electronic platform, increase integration between judicial units, and provide greater agility in process handling by allowing legal professionals to perform digital filings and monitoring, thereby reducing the need for physical administrative procedures and travel.
