Candeia’s Justice system is provided for in the Constitutional Proposal and has not yet been established. This page explains the architecture and safeguards without presenting courts, judges or proceedings as already existing.
In practice, the Public Defender’s Office may assist someone who needs to challenge an access suspension, defend digital property, respond to an internal sanctioning proceeding or face an institution without the material means to defend themselves.
Material access, not merely formal access
A button to start an action does not remove barriers of comprehension, cost, technological access or asymmetry in the face of powerful institutions. The Public Defender’s Office exists to reduce those barriers.
It may also act collectively
When a common violation affects a vulnerable group or people facing a material barrier to access, the Public Defender’s Office may seek collective, diffuse or structural relief without requiring an individual power of attorney for an indivisible, preventive or corrective claim.
Independent defence, including against the Government
The Superior Council administers careers and safeguards, but it cannot direct legal strategy in a case or interfere in a defence adverse to the Government. Shared administrative infrastructure cannot expose professional secrecy or litigation strategy.
How to request assistance
GOV does not decide eligibility, appoint a defender or begin representation. When the Public Defender’s Office is established and a real channel exists, the request will be started through Candeia OS and routed to the competent Sistema Candeia module, or will use another published institutional channel, with assessment by the competent authority and protection of confidentiality.
