Il se concentre sur les temporalités et l’intensité du travail des professions judiciaires au Portugal. Les résultats montrent que les personnels des tribunaux portugais travaillent à un rythme soutenu et en dehors des heures réglementaires pour accomplir une charge de travail lourde dans des délais très serrés. Leur environnement de travail se caractérise par ailleurs par des espaces exigus, avec un mobilier et des ressources technologiques inadéquates. Ces conditions de travail sont perçues, ou vécues, comme inévitables, prévisibles, et normalisées. Cette contribution invite à prendre en considération ces résultats pour améliorer les performances des tribunaux et la qualité de la justice rendue aux citoyens.Éditions juridiques associées2024info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://hdl.handle.net/10316/118364https://hdl.handle.net/10316/118364eng0769-33621969-6973https://droit.cairn.info/revue-droit-et-societe-2024-3-page-549?lang=enDias, João PauloCasaleiro, PaulaQueirós, FilipaJesus, FernandaLima, Teresa Manecainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2025-03-06T16:25:36Zoai:estudogeral.uc.pt:10316/118364Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-29T06:12:12.421473Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
