A PRODUÇÃO DE PROVA TESTEMUNHAL POR MEIO DE VIDEOCONFERÊNCIA

Abstract

The present study addresses the historical evolution of testimonial evidence and how the justice system had to adapt to the pandemic context through the creation of mechanisms such as the "100% Digital Court". The analysis discusses the benefits of technology, such as procedural speed and resource efficiency, but also highlights the risks, such as the violation of witness incomunicability and third-party interference. Additionally, it explores the issue of judicial impartiality, which is fundamental to ensuring a fair decision that respects the procedural rights of the parties. Although videoconference hearings have facilitated access to justice and modernized the process, it is necessary to establish limits and ensure security mechanisms that protect the integrity of testimonial evidence. The aim is to promote a balance between technology and the fundamental principles of the legal process, ensuring the effectiveness of judicial protection (OpenAI, 2024).
