A resolução alternativa de litígios e o acesso à justiça: A mediação do sobreendividamento

Abstract

The consolidation of the forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in the context of a system strongly marked by the supremacy of the courts as conciliatory mechanisms in social conflictuality is one of the dynamics that pervades the current systems of justice administration. The aim of this text is to understand the value of ADR in the construction of the right to access to justice, and, for this purpose, the author gives a special emphasis to mediation as a procedure that is capable of giving an effective response to emerging conflicts involving family indebtedtness.
