The use of extrajudicial expedients for the resolution of conflicts is included in the framework of a universal movement of access to justice, which brings together practically the unanimity of jurists attentive to the fundamental issue of making the complexity of modern life compatible with the traditional mechanisms of conflict resolution .

Among the so-called alternative methods of conflict resolution, arbitration stands out. Brazil, with Law 9,307, of September 23, 1996, created conditions for the effective use of arbitration, which, prior to this legal diploma, little resorted to due to the institute's lack of tradition in light of the rules of the Code of Civil Procedure then applicable and the jurisdictional culture of the country.

​

Arbitration converges with fundamental principles of Brazilian Constitutional Law. The Federal Constitution, which enshrines as a fundamental norm the peaceful solution of conflicts in international matters (art. 4, VII) and makes social solidarity a fundamental objective of the Republic (art. 3, I), and implicitly encourages use of alternative methods of conflict resolution.

​

In order for arbitration to be used properly, it is in the best interest of having a mediation chamber linked to an institution whose social performance has ensured the respect and trust of the community in which it operates.

​

In this sense, the Faculdade Vale do Cricaré, within its main purpose of collaborating in the solution of basic problems of economic development and social well-being, decided to add to the services provided by it the creation, as an integral part of its organizational structure, of an Arbitration Chamber, which will rely on the wealth of knowledge and experience accumulated by FVC over its years of existence.
