APJERJ - Associação dos Peritos Judiciais do Estado do Rio de Janeiro

What APJERJ - Associação dos Peritos Judiciais do Estado do Rio de Janeiro does

APJERJ - Associação dos Peritos Judiciais do Estado do Rio de Janeiro is a private, non-profit professional association founded on August 9, 1977, headquartered in Centro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It represents judicial experts (peritos judiciais) across more than 50 distinct professions, including engineers, accountants, administrators, doctors, economists, and other specialists qualified to provide expert testimony and technical assistance in civil, criminal, labor, and administrative proceedings before Rio de Janeiro state courts. The association maintains a formal relationship with the Judicial Power (Poder Judiciário) of Rio de Janeiro and coordinates expert appointments, credentialing, and access to the PJe electronic court system.

The organization generates revenue through three primary streams: recurring membership fees (admission fee, registration fee, and monthly contributions from effective and contributing members), training course fees (Basic Judicial Expert Course and the newer Graphotechnical Expert Course), and a digital certificate channel partnership with CERTIRIO that issues A3 certificates at preferential rates for members. Members are listed in a searchable online directory accessible to courts, law firms, and private parties, and the association distributes free lectures, symposia, and a bimonthly newsletter with lead-generation content to sustain member acquisition and engagement.

APJERJ is governed by a Board of Directors (Conselho Diretor), Deliberative Council, Fiscal Council, and High Council, with elected leadership serving two-year terms (currently 2024-2026 under President Tomaz Aquino de Souza Barbosa). The association maintains mutual partnerships with peer state associations such as APEPAR, APJEP, APEJESE, and ABAPE, as well as regulatory bodies including the Federal Accounting Council (CFC) and Regional Accounting Council of Rio de Janeiro (CRCRJ). Day-to-day operations are run by a 13-person staff, and the association positions itself as the largest judicial-expert association in Rio de Janeiro state, with established 46-year institutional prestige among magistrates.
