Sumario:Brazilian political and judicial system has considered the principle of judicial efficiency due to some changes of 1988 Brazilian Federal Constitution and the creation of the National Council of Justice (CNJ) in 2009. This paper presents the measurement of the judicial efficiency of the Brazilian Labor Courts (TRTs) from 2009 to 2014. The results suggest that among the 24 TRTs, eight of them had improvements in their technical efficiency, eleven labor courts have worsened and five showed no change in their efficiency score. It also suggests that the least efficient Brazilian labor courts were increasing in returns to scale.
