Abstract

 

In this article, based on a dialectical and historical methodology, marked by theoretical confrontations, we sought to verify the current conditions for the practice of law, including a comparison with other areas essential to justice. In these contours, the crucial point of the discussion consists of the analysis of the impacts arising from Joint Notice nº 138/PR/2025 of the Court of Justice of Minas Gerais (TJMG), which established the National Electronic Justice Gazette (DJEN) as an exclusive means of "non-personal" subpoena. The adoption of this measure reflects a broader trend towards digitalization of the judicial process, while at the same time raising questions about its impact on lawyers' routines and the effectiveness of due legal process. Thus, the present research reveals, in conclusive terms, the authors' concern in considering that the information in focus does not deserve to be translated as advancement for the category of lawyers. This being said, comparatively, contrary to the constitutional text, there is no equality between the actors of justice, after all, the lawyer, over time, does not experience the same respect and healthy conditioning for the exercise of his role, when compared to other functions essential to justice.
