Abstract
This paper approaches the perception of members of the Judicial Power on the interview of friendly witness. The theoretical concept of full protection was used as theoretical frame. This is a qualitative research, in which the semi-structured interview allowed the production of data, organized according to the content analysis technique, resulting in the following themes: production of evidence; protection; and challenges/needs. A positive perception of the interview was expressed in all themes. It became clear, however, that the culture observed in the Judicial Power presents itself as an obstacle to carry out the friendly witness interview, it’s necessary to adapt the institution in order to apply the methodology. The improvement of physical infrastructure and training of the Justice‘s clerks are challenges to be faced for the implementation of the interview as one of the court case procedures concerning children and adolescents who are victims or witnesses of violence.
