The seventh edition of the J.Ex Innovation Award will recognize projects and professionals contributing to the transformation of justice through technology, new management practices and innovative methods. The ceremony is scheduled for November 16 in São Paulo.
The awards bring together initiatives from Brazilian and international institutions, including higher courts, state and federal courts, electoral, labor and military courts, as well as public defenders’ offices, prosecutors’ offices, public legal services, public prosecution services, senior councils, oversight bodies and international courts.
Award categories include technological innovation, management innovation, social innovation, exponential leadership, technology executive and international leadership. Finalists for exponential leadership include Maria Cristina Irigoyen Peduzzi of Brazil’s Superior Labor Court, Mauro Campbell of the Superior Court of Justice and national justice inspector, and Jorge Messias, a minister at the Office of the Attorney General of the Union.
Award creator and lawyer Ademir Piccoli said innovation in justice extends beyond technology to include management, people and cultural change. He said the award aims to recognize those turning these areas into practical solutions that can improve processes, services and institutions’ relationships with the public.
