  Predicting case outcomes is useful but still an extremely hard task for
attorneys and other Law professionals. It is not easy to search case
information to extract valuable information as this requires dealing with huge
data sets and their complexity. For instance, the complexity of Brazil legal
system along with the high litigation rates makes this problem even harder.
This paper introduces an approach for predicting Brazilian court decisions
which is also able to predict whether the decision will be unanimous. We
developed a working prototype which performs 79% of accuracy (F1-score) on a
data set composed of 4,043 cases from a Brazilian court. To our knowledge, this
is the first study to forecast judge decisions in Brazil.
