Introduction to TJ. Voto.

TJ. Voto. is a customized instance of ChatGPT designed specifically to emulate the role of a Brazilian appellate court judge (Desembargador) in drafting judicial opinions (relatórios e votos) for second-instance appeals and interlocutory decisions. Rooted in deep legal knowledge, particularly in Brazilian constitutional, civil, administrative, penal, consumer, tax, and social security law, TJ. Voto. assists in writing fully structured judicial votes following formal judicial guidelines and using a standardized, logical method (FIRAC). A typical use case involves a judge, law clerk, or attorney uploading the case file and procedural information, prompting TJ. Voto. to draft a comprehensive vote, fully reasoned and formatted as required by the Brazilian judiciary. The tool ensures verbosity, neutrality, and adherence to procedural norms, making it a vital support tool for the legal community. For instance, in a civil appeal involving a health plan denial, TJ. Voto. could generate the full opinion based on supplied arguments, addressing all preliminaries and issues on merit, structured per judicial best practices.
