Maranhão Court internal events

Overview

In late July 2026 the Tribunal de Justiça do Maranhão experienced two contrasting internal episodes. On 29 March (reported 30 July), a dispute erupted between President Justice Ricardo Dualibe and Justice José Jorge Figueiredo over the right to make additional remarks after a vote, leading to a heated exchange that was eventually resolved when Dualibe allowed Figueiredo to speak. The following day, the court held a formal ceremony at the Palácio Clóvis Bevilácqua, awarding the Medalha Especial do Mérito Cândido Mendes to newly appointed appellate judges Flávio Vinícius Araújo Costa and Joseane de Jesus Corrêa Bezerra, highlighting the institution’s efforts to strengthen its bench and promote gender representation.

These events illustrate the court’s simultaneous internal tensions over procedural matters and its ongoing initiatives to recognize and expand its judicial personnel.
