In Brazil, judicial cases are an important part of the civil law system inherited from Portuguese law. The judicial system is known for being lengthy, with cases often taking years to resolve. The term 'caso judicial' is formal and commonly used in legal documentation, court proceedings, and media reporting. In the USA, similar cases may be referred to more casually as 'lawsuits' or 'court cases' in everyday language, but 'judicial case' is the formal legal terminology used in both jurisdictions.
