Resumo
The present work analyzes the process of structuring the Brazilian Public Defender's Office and the
recruitment of public defenders considering the changes brought about by Constitutional
Amendment n° 80/2014, which claims to be the institution “an expression and instrument of the
democratic regime”. The function of the defender is the object of analysis according to the theories
of elites and bureaucracy at the street level, in order to subsequently assess the possible effects of
the framework on the public policy of access to justice. The topic gains relevance when
considering the expansion of the institution to all jurisdictional units, unfinished, but expected to
occur by the end of 2022. Added to this is the reduced number of studies on the institution with the
potential to serve approximately 80 % of the Brazilian population. To promote exploratory
research, primary and secondary databases were used. The formation of the primary database had
706 questionnaires, resulting in a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 3.5%, while the
secondary database had the participation of all general public defenders and through surveys with
all public defenders and 3,134 responses, resulting in a survey with a confidence level of 95% and
a margin of error of 1.3%. Respondents were asked about their socio-demographic profile and their
perception of the structure of the Public Defender's Office, stating that the institution is made up
mostly of white people, from high-income families and with a high level of education. Defenders
are part of elites in a broad sense, but only part of the members make up political elites, being
street-level bureaucrats by nature. Thus, the results on the inadequacy of work structure, workload
and reflections on care are relevant, with the first two items being associated with each other.
