Resumo

The study has two main objectives, the first is to identify whether male judges produce more than female judges do and the second is to identify whether the productivity of these two gender judges are related to the same factors, considering the experience and scope of the judges, the available support team, and the workload. In the empirical research, secondary data were used referring to 600 judges holding the first instance of the State Court of São Paulo. The data are from 2014 and were collected in the Court of Justice of São Paulo (TJSP) and in the National Justice Council (CNJ). The results do not show statistically significant differences between the productivity of the two gender judges, considering the variables investigated. However, it is possible to affirm that the productivity of these judges are influenced by different factors.
