Poder Judiciário de Alagoas

What Poder Judiciário de Alagoas does

Poder Judiciário de Alagoas (Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de Alagoas, TJAL) is the state court of justice for the Brazilian state of Alagoas, headquartered in Maceió and operating under the national Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ). Founded in 1891, the institution provides state-level judicial services including civil court adjudication, Small Claims Courts (Juizados Especiais Cíveis) operating in both the capital and interior municipalities, extrajudicial notary and registry oversight, judicial on-call services (Plantões Judiciários), and transparency services under the Brazilian Access to Information Law (LAI). Its primary "customers" are citizens and legal entities of Alagoas seeking legal dispute resolution and access to civil justice, with a secondary user base of users of extrajudicial services such as notaries.

The court's core technology asset is the TJAL Portal (tjal.jus.br), a digital platform integrating case management, transparency publication, and citizen access. Supporting infrastructure includes a Transparency Portal (LAI/SIC), an Ombudsman (Ouvidoria) handling data subject requests under LGPD, a VPN with two-factor authentication for remote judicial access, and accessibility features (Libras sign language translation and text-to-speech). The institution formally complies with LGPD through Resolução 003/2021 and CNJ Resoluções 363/2021 and Recomendação 73/20, and operates a dedicated Personal Data Protection Committee (CGPD) and an IT governance committee (CGTIC) led by a Diretora de Tecnologia da Informação.

TJAL is a government state entity with no commercial revenue model. It is funded entirely through state government budgetary allocations and operates under public-sector procurement and staffing rules. There is no pricing model, no venture funding, no subsidiaries, and no ownership changes. Leadership consists of appointed magistrates (desembargadores and juízes) serving in administrative and judicial roles, with no traditional executive team or board of directors. The institutional foundation date of 1891 reflects over 130 years of continuous operation as Alagoas's binding judicial authority.
