The present work was dedicated to the study of consensual practices developed out of court in the public administration and the analysis of the possible impacts of this approach to the conflict as a way to inhibit the judicialization phenomenon. Starting from the understanding that judicialization is a phenomenon experienced in the Brazilian State due to the incomplete democratization experienced after 1988, it was observed that the actions of the Judiciary, dedicated incisively to the protection of constitutionally guaranteed rights, represent an obstacle to the implementation of a model of participatory democracy, since, based on the culture of the judgment, popular participation and social control in the public administration are discouraged. Recent social and state movements have dedicated efforts to promote a rapprochement between the population and the state, guaranteeing that only claims in which the protection of the courts is indispensable are taken to the judiciary. Concerning the promotion of consensual practices in the public administration, we intend to analyze whether the self-composition of conflict is favorable to the increase of Brazilian democracy and whether the adoption of these methods of dispute resolution is already present in the public administration.
