The presente work aims to analyze the participation of people, agencies and entities as
intervening in legal proceedings, as a way to better provide elements for the formation of the
judge’s conviction and, with that, the judge to make better technical decisions. To this end,the
amicus curiae institute, its legal nature, its application in today’s Brazilian procedural system
and its acceptance before the Federal Supreme Court will be analyzed. In addition, it will be
observed how this institute can collaborate for access to justice, for the principles of adversarial
and broad defense, for procedural cooperation and, finally, for the democratization and better
functioning of the Brazilian Judiciary. Finally, it will be seen how the “friend of the court” has
been accepted in labor claims that are being processed before the higher courts, especially ADI
6363, which, when judged in April 2020, contributed a lot to the discussion about labor relations
in a pandemic contexto hitherto incipiente. In this sense, it will be demonstrated how the amicus
collaborated to further enrich the debate on such na importante topic.
