Removed magistrates and civil servants are linked to the Court of Justice of Amazonas. Archive/TJAM The judges of the Amazonas Court of Justice (TJAM) unanimously approved, this Friday (21), a draft law that provides for the creation of eight new judge positions. The proposal also creates 80 cabinet positions and 24 bonus functions. The text is sent to the Amazonas Legislative Assembly (Aleam) for analysis and voting. Currently, the court has 26 judges. If the law is approved by state deputies, the Court will have 34 members. The last change in the composition of TJAM occurred almost 13 years ago. ? Join the g1 AM channel on WhatsApp The expansion of the framework has a favorable opinion from the National Council of Justice (CNJ). The body based the recommendation on the 13.49% increase in the state's population, in addition to the 211.5% growth in the volume of new cases and 225.5% in the collection of cases pending at TJAM.

Implementation in stages The proposal foresees that the filling of vacancies and the hiring of civil servants will occur gradually until 2028: 2026: 4 new judges and team of civil servants; 2027: 2 new judges and staff; 2028: 2 new judges and server team. Arguments for approval During the Full Court session, this Friday, magistrates defended the measure based on the advancement of procedural demands and criticized publications about the proposal. The president of TJAM, judge Jomar Fernandes, refuted questions about the project and highlighted the transparency of the process. "Untrue news needs to be refuted, because it is misinformation that is not supported by what is factual. This process was submitted to the National Council of Justice (CNJ) and has to follow a [procedure]", said the magistrate. Judge Yedo Simões also emphasized the high workload of the teams to justify the reinforcement of the staff. "I see that what we have to do is show numbers and publicize what we do in this court. We work from Monday to Monday. In one month, I received around a thousand cases. Our servers are sick from working so much", he stated. Judge Décio Santos recalled that the expansion was already foreseen in the agency's expansion planning due to the increase in demand in the state. "When we presented the increase proposal, it was planned to create vacancies for judges and civil servants, precisely in view of the need after a 286% increase in court cases between 2020 and 2025", he pointed out.
