Análise jurimétrica da jurisprudência sobre dano ao erário do Superior Tribunal de Justiça

Abstract

With the computerization of the judiciary in recent decades, court decisions are available on the websites of the Courts. This is a very large amount of information that can be better analyzed through statistical resources, increasing the predictability of decisions. The objective of this work was to use data mining tools from the R software to collect data related to the evolution of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) jurisprudence on the damage to the treasury, using statistical techniques of descriptive and visual analysis. A total of 1882 summaries were analyzed, covering the period from 1989 to 2021, totaling 2997 pages, and it was found that until the judgment on the subject 897, the STJ jurisprudence was consolidated in the sense of the imprescriptibility of damage to the treasury. After this judgment, decisions were found recognizing the statute of limitations for the damage, with a period of five years, varying the legal basis.
