Whether the court disposition time in a country is reasonable or not is a matter of debate. Brazilian courts are usually perceived to be slow. This study investigates whether court delay is a real problem or merely a perception. The duration of civil cases in Brazil is measured by international standards and then compared to those in European courts. The disposition time in Brazilian first-instance courts takes 600 days, almost three times longer than the European average (232 days). In Brazilian second-instance courts, it takes 320 days, 50% longer than in Europe (215 days). However, the number of cases decided in those courts exceeds the number of new incoming cases, which means that the backlog and the disposition time in Brazilian courts are decreasing. These data are discussed in this paper and a research agenda and management recommendations are proposed later on this document.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/2317-6172202302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]],"date-time":"2023-02-20T13:33:48Z","timestamp":1676900028000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Court Disposition Time in Brazil and in European Countries"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6841-8102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Caio","family":"Castelliano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Bras\u00edlia,  Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9261-2407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomas Aquino","family":"Guimaraes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Bras\u00edlia,  Brazil"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Estudo da imagem do Judici\u00e1rio brasileiro","year":"2019"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"351","DOI":"10.1016\/j.irle.2004.10.006","article-title":"Does the Appointment of Judges Increase the Output of the Judiciary?","volume":"24","author":"BEENSTOCK Michael","year":"2004","journal-title":"International Review of Law and Economics"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"455","DOI":"10.1007\/s10657-014-9469-5","article-title":"A Cross-Country Analysis of the Impact of Regulatory Quality on Commercial Case Disposition Time","volume":"39","author":"BIELEN Samantha","year":"2015","journal-title":"European Journal of Law and Economics"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"The Duration of Judicial Deliberation: Evidence from Belgium","author":"BIELEN Samantha","year":"2016"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Comparative International Study of Court Performance Indicators: A Descriptive and Analytical Account","author":"BUSCAGLIA Edgardo","year":"1999"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"275","DOI":"10.1016\/S0144-8188(97)00007-0","article-title":"A Quantitative Assessment of the Efficiency of the Judicial Sector in Latin America","volume":"17","author":"BUSCAGLIA Edgardo","year":"1997","journal-title":"International Review of Law and Economics"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.2139\/ssrn.2612941","article-title":"Court Performance in Brazil: Evidence from Judicature-Level Data","author":"CASTRO Alexandre","year":"2009","journal-title":"SSRN Electronic Journal"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"460","DOI":"10.1093\/jleo\/ewq014","article-title":"Does Court Speed Shape Economic Activity?
