What is Labor Court (vara do trabalho)?

Also: vara do trabalho · labor court · first-instance court

A Labor Court is the first-instance unit of the Labor Justice system. It is where the case proceeds, the hearings take place and the judgment is rendered. Each court has a titular judge (and substitutes), and its decisional behavior varies.

It is at the grain of the court that jurimetrics becomes actionable: the same claim has different chances in different courts.
