CJE (Electronic Judicial Certificate) - The Electronic Judicial Certificate project is part of the projects of the Ministry of Justice and began in 2017. Its purpose is to create a portal where users can issue certificates regarding online statements about your lawsuits. Earlier, in order to obtain this certificate it was necessary for the ordinary citizen to go to court, to make a formal request in writing and to wait for it to be followed up.

With this project, which arises from the need to comply with one of several measures required by the SIMPLEX + government program, the request for the most common and predefined certificates can be carried out immediately, thus facilitating the lives of citizens.

This project was carried out using the technologies Java, Apache, Tomcat e Web Services REST.

UniLEO's mission is to ensure the implementation of Budgetary Framework Law (LEO) in order to provide the State, its services and bodies with greater effectiveness of public policies in terms of results, with responsibility for the dissemination of the Accounting Standardization System for Public Administrations (SNC-AP) and the reform of accounting and public accounts in general.

According to the defined objectives - monitoring of the entities subject to the SNC-AP, in the process of transition to the new LEO - an information system was developed to support the said monitoring process, which includes the generation of reports for UniLEO and other entities.

In this sense, two modules of the information system were created: "Entity Management" - collects information that characterizes each of the entities - and "SNC-AP Questionnaire" - monitors the maturity of the transition process to the SNC- AP through a monthly inquiry to the entities, in which the user is allowed, after a first completion, to come back later to edit, add or delete the information entered or pre-existing, finalizing, afterwards the operation.

In order to ensure high levels of accessibility and usability, responsive graphics have been adopted, allowing them to be adapted to mobile devices.

This year's winner will be announced at the Opening Ceremony, scheduled for 17:50.
