Código de Processo Civil – 10 anos: balanços, desafios e perspectivas contemporâneas

2026-03-31

The thematic dossier Código de Processo Civil – 10 anos: balanços, desafios e perspectivas contemporâneas proposes to bring together studies dedicated to the critical, dogmatic, historical, and jurisprudential examination of the Brazilian experience with the 2015 Civil Procedure Code, considering its impacts on procedural theory, forensic practice, and the contemporary shaping of jurisdictional protection.

The dossier is interested in analyzing the transformations introduced by the CPC within the scope of procedural principles, cooperation, the adversarial system, the reasoning of judicial decisions, the precedent system, the reasonable duration of the process, and the search for greater coherence, stability, and integrity of the jurisdiction. Contributions examining the advances, limits, and controversies arising from the application of the Code throughout its first decade of operation are welcome.

Included in the scope of the dossier are, among other topics, procedural legal acts, procedural scheduling, dynamic distribution of the burden of proof, provisional protection, enforcement of judgments, execution, appeals, the valorization of self-composition, the formation of qualified precedents, repetitive litigation, the performance of the courts, collective procedurability, and the impacts of technological transformations on civil procedure.

Also included in the scope are reflections on the jurisprudential reception of the Code, its dialogues with the 1988 Constitution, with extraordinary procedural legislation, and with current challenges of access to justice, effectiveness, decision-making rationality, and legal certainty. The dossier thus seeks to foster a plural, critical, and interdisciplinary debate on the ten years of the CPC's operation, encouraging the submission of papers that problematize its foundations, its concrete application, its insufficiencies, and its possibilities for improvement in light of present-day requirements.

  • Deadline for submission: May 15, 2026.

  • Expected publication: July 2026.
