O acesso à justiça em juizados especiais para surdos que se comunicam por libras no Brasil

Abstract

This research presents an analysis on the existence and guarantee of access to justice for deaf individuals who communicate through Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) in Special Courts, through a comparison established between the reality experienced by these deaf individuals and what is normatively established. The reasoning is built upon a historical understanding that points to the roots of the marginalization of people with disabilities, extends through a specific analysis of the fundamental rights of deaf individuals and their needs, concluding with the recognition of the essentiality of trained professionals in ensuring full access to justice for deaf individuals who communicate through LIBRAS. The focus established by this research aimed to guarantee a more specific and thorough analysis of the reality experienced by deaf individuals seeking their autonomy during interactions with public agencies and encountering, in reality, barriers that extend beyond the existing linguistic limitation
