The research is based on the theoretical-methodological approach of Conversation Analysis (Sackset al.2003 1974),focusing on studies of institutional talk-in-interaction (Drew e Heritage 1992;Roberts e Sarangi 2005; Robinson 2013), as well as combining concepts fromInteractional Sociolinguistics (Gumperz 1999; Gumperz, J.J. 2002). The resultsshow four phases: opening, that occurs when the conciliator takes a roll call andgreets the parties; presentation of the problem, which happens when they explainlegal concepts to laypeople; offering to file the case, when the conciliator triesto persuade the parties to file and close the case; and ending, that takes placewhen the parties sign the paper agreement
