"In God we trust. As for the others, let them bring data." The phrase, credited to the American statistician Edwards Deming, is perhaps a little radical, but it would suit the nd Law, Statistics and Jurimetrics Seminar, organized last Thursday (/) in São Paulo. The general tone was that, although the country's jurists and lawyers are of excellent standard, numbers and statistics have a lot to contribute to their decisions.
The seminar was promoted by the Brazilian Jurimetrics Association (ABJ), a non-profit entity whose objective is to investigate and encourage the application of statistics and probability in Law. Personalities such as professors Michael Heise, from Cornell University, in the United States, attended; Kazuo Watanabe, from USP; Flávio Luiz Yarshell, also from USP; Fábio Ulhoa Coelho, from PUC-SP; and Ivan Ribeiro, from Fadusp; in addition to Flávio Caetano, Secretary of Judiciary Reform at the Ministry of Justice; Arystóbulo Freitas, president of the São Paulo Lawyers Association; Marta Saad, president of the Brazilian Institute of Criminal Sciences; Walfrido Warde Júnior, research coordinator at ABJ; and Clávio Valença Filho, director of the Brazilian Arbitration Center.
By reflecting on issues that transcend Law, although BTC Number Data never losing sight of it, the event did not fail to invite mathematicians and administrators. Statistician Carlos Eduardo Pereira Filho was one of them, and to show how his field of activity can contribute to other areas, he recalled another aphorism: “information is what changes your opinion”.
The study by professors Bruno Salama and Flávia Püschel , for example, illustrated how the collection of empirical information can change some prejudices. Its conclusions, based on the analysis of , rulings, invalidate two myths: that there is a moral damage industry in Brazil and that there is a lack of uniformity when judging cases of this type.
"The values of the convictions, even in the hypotheses we observed, did not seem high to us", said Salama, shortly after revealing that % of the compensations were less than R$, and only % were over R$, "As for the calculation criteria, prohibition against unjust enrichment and proportionality with the extent of the damage are quite common. This suggests a concern with the moderation of decisions and proves that the thesis of extremely high legal uncertainty is unsupported."
Flávia spoke about the difficulty in obtaining data, as the courts are not prepared to assist researchers — not to mention those whose websites don't even work. Professor Cássio Cavalli said he had the same obstacle and told a curious story. While working for the Ministry of Justice, his team obtained a CD containing a list of all bankruptcy, receivership and judicial recovery processes since After examining the content, however, Cavalli found the result strange and went to check them at a district. There he discovered that more than % of the information he had had nothing to do with the topic he wanted. It turns out that the classification system was scrambled in the migration to the unified system of the National Council of Justice, and much of the computerized data is now scrambled.
