MEDIATION IN FAMILY LAW: Effectiveness and Obstacles of Mediation in the Brazilian Legal System

"Mediation in Family Law: Effectiveness and Obstacles in the Brazilian Legal System" is an academic milestone that transcends the mere compilation of articles, presenting itself as a cutting-edge work in legal science. Coordinated by Diogo Ricardo Martins Balestra, Luane Flores Chuquel and guest researcher Alessandra Gomes Ramos, this publication is the result of rigorous multidisciplinary academic research.The book explores mediation as a pillar of"multi-door justice", analyzing its intersection between procedural law and complex family dynamics. The book advocates the transition from a"Justice of Power" to a"Justice of the Word", where the autonomy of the will and the self-determination of the parties are sovereign. By giving individuals a leading role in resolving their own conflicts, mediation transforms the law from an instrument of coercion into a powerful mechanism for pacification and social emancipation. This is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the new frontiers of conflict resolution in Brazil.
