Associação dos Magistrados da Bahia

What Associação dos Magistrados da Bahia does

Associação dos Magistrados da Bahia (AMAB) is a Brazilian nonprofit professional association founded on February 24, 1965, that represents approximately 800 active and retired state magistrates of the Tribunal de Justiça da Bahia. The organization functions as the recognized representative body for Bahia's state judiciary, providing advocacy for judicial independence, professional representation, continuing legal education, and member benefits. Its core offerings include AMAB 4.0 (a restricted member portal for exclusive services and information), the Clube de Descontos discount program, TV AMAB (a YouTube video channel), the PodAMAB podcast series, and the online AMAB Electoral Platform for member voting. AMAB wholly owns EMAB — the Escola de Magistrados da Bahia (founded 1982, second-oldest judicial school in Brazil) — which delivers training and professional development for magistrates and court staff, with course content cross-distributed via partnerships with Escola Paulista da Magistratura (EPM) and Escola de Magistratura Federal da 1ª Região (ESMAF). AMAB also hosts CIJEBA, a judicial intelligence center that has adopted cross-state technical notes (CIJEMS, CIJEMT) on predatory-lawsuit identification. The association is governed by elected leadership (President, Vice-Presidents, Diretoria, Conselho Deliberativo, Conselho Fiscal) under a triennial cycle; the current leadership cycle (2023/2025) transitioned via the September 2025 election of Juiz Eldsamir Mascarenhas with the highest vote total in the organization's history. Revenue mechanics are limited to membership dues (subscription/recurring model) from approximately 800 members; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Outreach runs through the AMAB website, Instagram (@amab_ba), YouTube (TV AMAB), a judicial news clipping service, and four Salvador-based physical facilities (headquarters at Praça D. Pedro II/Fórum Ruy Barbosa, a unit inside the Tribunal de Justiça da Bahia administrative campus, the Complexo AMAB hotel and club facility, and the EMAB training academy). Membership is effectively mandatory by category for full engagement with the state's judicial training and representation infrastructure, producing a captive member base concentrated in a single persona — Bahia state judges.

Direct peers

• AMMA - Associação dos Magistrados do Maranhão: Maranhão state magistrates' association with mission, governance, and services closely parallel to AMAB; both operate regional judicial schools and are members of COPEDEM.
• AMAERJ - Associação dos Magistrados do Estado do Rio de Janeiro: Rio de Janeiro state magistrates' association with analogous offerings (judicial school, member benefits, advocacy); competes for EMAB-equivalent training partnerships and national visibility within COPEDEM.
• AMAGIS - Associação dos Magistrados de Mato Grosso do Sul: State magistrates' association for Mato Grosso do Sul; the two associations already exchange technical notes (e.g., on predatory lawsuits) through CIJEBA/CIJEMS, evidencing routine peer-level coordination.
• APAMAGIS - Associação Paulista de Magistrados: State magistrates' association for São Paulo, the largest and best-resourced state bench in Brazil; same operating model (advocacy, training school, member services, club benefits) but at materially greater scale than AMAB.
• ADEPAL - Associação dos Magistrados do Estado de Alagoas: State magistrates' association serving Alagoas judges with the same dues-funded, advocacy-plus-training model; comparable scale and structure to AMAB and a natural state-level peer.
• AJURIS - Associação dos Juízes do Rio Grande do Sul: State-level magistrates' association in Rio Grande do Sul, mirroring AMAB's structure (elected leadership, judicial school, member benefits); functionally the closest direct peer in another state federation.

Others

• COPEDEM - Colégio Permanente de Diretores de Escolas Estaduais da Magistratura: National collegium of state judicial-school directors of which EMAB is a member; not a competitor but a coordinating body that shapes national training standards and initiatives affecting AMAB.
• ESMAF - Escola de Magistratura Federal da 1ª Região: Federal regional judicial training school partnering with EMAB for academic exchange and innovation; operates in an adjacent (federal) layer of the judiciary but shares AMAB's training-school mission.
• EPM - Escola Paulista da Magistratura: Judicial training school of the São Paulo court; AMAB already has a partnership with EPM for joint courses, positioning EPM as a peer/partner in the judicial education vertical rather than a competitor.

Broad incumbents

• AMB - Associação dos Magistrados Brasileiros: National umbrella association for Brazilian magistrates; directly comparable in mission (representation, training, advocacy) and overlapping membership base, but operating at national scope with greater resources and political weight than AMAB.
