Courts in Social Networks: Setting a Research Agenda for Socio-Legal Studies

- Summary

Abstract

This paper provides a preliminary analysis of the social media policies created in the Brazilian Judiciary and the experience of two Brazilian Courts (STF and STJ) in the use of social networks.We explain two different cases (STF on Twitter and STJ on Facebook) and describe the role of the National Council of Justice (CNJ) in regulating the subject. Our claim is that sociolegal scholars can engage in this research area and study the effectiveness of these policies, focusing on the potential to the democratization of the Judiciary.
