Since the enactment of Constitutional Amendment 45 of December 30, 2004, the three branches of government have established normative, administrative and jurisdictional commitments with the aim of providing citizens with a more effective and truthful judicial service. To this end, they entered into the Republican Pacts, consisting of a series of changes to civil, criminal and labor procedural legislation and administrative guidelines in order to give concrete expression to the fundamental right to a reasonable duration of litigation brought before the Judiciary. Based on research in which a quantitative and qualitative assessment was made of the Supreme Court's decisions, the aim of this work is to recognize these public commitments as an example of applied public policy and, after analyzing it from the angle of the Supreme Court's participation in the realization of this right-guarantee, to conclude that there is still a lot that can be done.
