Best Judicial Management Practices; Innovation; Courts; Judicial Administration.

Best Judicial Management Practices (BPJ) are organisational innovations with the potential to contribute to increasing procedural delivery and performance in courts of justice. Its absorption responds to social, economic and political demands for a more efficient, fair and accessible jurisdictional provision. However, the phenomenon has been little studied. This paper considers BPJ as outstanding innovative procedures, methods and management techniques recognized as potentiators of judicial performance and has as its general objective to identify and describe the process of development and adoption of BPJ under the perception of key actors of the Court of Justice of the Federal District and Territories (TJDFT), awarded by the Innovare Institute and the National Council of Justice (CNJ) in this regard. To this end, these practices were mapped and their adoption and development process were analyzed in depth. A longitudinal survey was carried out from December 2018 to September 2023 and documentary research techniques and interviews were used in data collection, which were processed through content analysis. The results showed that steps and factors in the process of adoption and development of BPJ interact dynamically, shaping the path of each innovative practice. Idea generation has been found to thrive in a nurturing organizational culture that fosters creativity, collaboration, and relative risk-taking. Adaptable, yet consistent and strategic support from leadership, team engagement, and the availability of resources proved to be essential in this process.
