Abstract

The high delay in the resolution of legal proceedings has been the subject of many studies in recent times. This slowness has many causes and one of them may be the low efficiency in the allocation and use of resources that the courts have. This study aims to analyze the relative efficiency in the use of material and human resources in all 27 Brazilian state courts in the period 2005-2008. For this, we use the DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) method, which has been widely employed in the analysis of relative efficiency in both the public and the private sectors. Overall, the results indicate a higher relative efficiency of the courts with greater volume of litigation.
