The President of the Superior Court of Justice refused OAB/RJ's request to suspend a platform selling AI-drafted small-claims petitions for about twenty reais, finding no prima facie unauthorised practice where the law lets citizens litigate without counsel and calling it paradoxical to bar digital tools from those entitled to represent themselves.
