First I have to say that before watching the documentary, I decided to check the reviews, and, based on them, I had a very different idea as to what to expect.
I have to say I'm not one much for documentaries, so I probably missed one or two things.
One thing I liked a lot is that, contrary to most brazilian documentaries, Justiça isn't blatantly biased, and in stead just depicts what's happening, allowing the viewers more space to draw their own conclusions. That said, the choice of script was still biased, because if the theme is supposed to be Brazilian's Justice system, that was mostly background for the stories of some poor folk who got in trouble with the law, and thus making the filmmaker's point: the inequality. Nothing against her point of view, except maybe call the picture "Inequality in the Justice System", because at no point did go into why things are the way they are.
