January 3rd is the Juvenile Judge's Day
January 3rd is the Juvenile Judge's Day in Brazil, in honor of our first juvenile judge José Cândido de Albuquerque Mello Mattos and in recognition of the work of judges responsible for the protection and well-being of children and adolescents. The date celebrates the importance of these professionals in the application of justice focused on the rights of minors, especially in situations of abuse, neglect or violation of the rights of children and adolescents.
The juvenile judge plays a crucial role in the justice system, being responsible for decisions involving guardianship, adoption, socio-educational measures and protection against risk situations. This date is an opportunity to highlight the importance of justice focused on children and adolescents, promoting awareness of the rights of this group and the role of the judge in ensuring their legal protection.
