Resumo
The virtualization of hearings in civil proceedings is a current issue lacking debate and scientific analysis, especially in Brazil, which due to its continental dimensions has one of the largest judicial structures in the world. The aim of this article was to know if the virtualization of the hearings brought greater speed in the processing time of the processes and if the monetary expenses of the judiciary were reduced, presenting the main driving factor that drives its implementation in such an atypical way, using a qualitative inductive method of subjective character with the study of documentary bibliographic research, articles, books, websites, yearbooks, laws and resolutions. Coming to the conclusion that the implementation of virtual and teleface-to-face hearings brought greater procedural speed and lower monetary expenses, these being driven by the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic that atypically and abruptly forced humanity to readjust, including justice itself, which needed significant modifications, changes that are supported in a legal and normative way by the National Council of Justice – CNJ and by the autonomy of each court and branch of the justice for their own needs.
