Do crime da caserna ao escabinato: a adequação do modelo de intimação do TJMMG à Linguagem Simples a partir da ISO 24495-1

Abstract

This article provides a descriptive analysis of a notification model prototype proposed by the Military Justice Court of the State of Minas Gerais using the Plain Language technique as one of the Court's initiatives to foster closer ties with litigants and the general population, in line with the National Judiciary Pact for Plain Language promoted by the National Council of Justice. The primary objective is to assess whether the prototype complies with the guidelines established by the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) as an example of a Plain Language document. The theoretical framework is divided into a conceptual foundation, which is dedicated to studying the importance of simplifying legal discourse, and a technical foundation, which uses the literature on Plain Language and its corresponding normative guidelines as a reference. For context, the study conducts a comparative analysis of notification models developed in 2010, 2014, and the newly proposed model currently in testing for implementation. The analysis of the prototype identified several aspects where the normative guidelines were not fully met or only partially adhered to. This article presents proposals for adjustments according to the parameters of the recent Brazilian Standard ISO 24495-1 – Plain Language, published in July 2024, so that the model can be recognized as a Plain Language document.
