A participação dos juízes em práticas emancipatórias: o programa trabalho, justiça e cidadania na 17ª região-ES como estudo de caso

Abstract

This study intends to analyze how the Work, Justice and Citizenship program, carried out by the Associations of Labor Magistrates and partner entities, contributes to the social participation of labor judges in emancipatory practices. The program was conceived by the National Association of Labor Magistrates with the purpose of promoting awareness of the basic rights and duties of citize ns, through the integration of the Judiciary with society. For that, the historical dialectical method is used, with qualitative research, of the descriptive and exploratory type, carried out through a theoretical approach, based on secondary data, with em phasis on reports of experiences of program participants, presented on referenced sites. The results are in the sense that the implementation of public policies whose objective is the promotion of citizenship demonstrates the judge's commitment to the soci al dimension of humanity. The conclusion is that, by promoting a closer relationship between the Judiciary and the community, as well as raising awareness of basic rights and duties, such practices are part of the construction of an even greater project: t he construction of a plural State.
