Judiciary and Access to Information
The project analyzes the TJSP’s transparency policies, evaluating compliance with the Access to Information Law and the availability of public data, with a focus on active transparency and the handling of requests for access to information.
On 29 January 2015, InternetLab signed with São Paulo’s Court of Justice (TJSP) a Technical Cooperation Agreement. The agreement provides the adoption of measures of common interest of the two entities.
An InternetLab research team produced a diagnosis of TJSP transparency policies, analyzing to what extent the provisions of the Brazilian Access to Information Act (Lei de Acesso à Informação) are being observed and what are the best practices to make public data available. Our main focus was to know what data TJSP has made available online on its own in, and how the Court has been dealing with requests for information sent by citizens.
