Disputas e tensões: o Tribunal Regional Federal da 5ª Região no Recife.

Abstract

This research aims to study the local political forces that acted for the installation of the headquarters of the Federal Regional Court of the 5th Region in the city of Recife, from the new configuration of the Judiciary Power, determined in the Federal Constitution of 1988, in an effort to decentralize this power, in order to expand access to justice for the population. The study includes, in addition to previous attempts to decentralize the Federal Judiciary, the creation of five Regional Federal Courts, which assumed part of the legal competence of the former Federal Court of Appeals, by virtue of the provision in the Federal Constitution of 1988 (and in the ADCT), with emphasis on the choice of Recife for the headquarters and installation of the TRF of the 5th Region at the Palácio Frei
