Nowadays, the Defensoria Pública do Estado (State’s Public Advocate) role deserves to be highlighted, which, independently, performs extrajudicial mediations and hearings, contributing for the universalized access to justice and celerity in the conflict’s resolution. Given the Defensoria’s acting relevance, this research intends to explore the extrajudicial mediations and hearings performed at Campina Grande’s nucleus, leading to the reflection about the legal, social and economic impacts for the city.
