Considerando que o espaço é forma/conteúdo, reflexo e condição para a (in)justiça, conclui-se que a organização e a funcionalidade das comarcas, caracterizadas pela justaposição e sobreposição, são mais exequíveis para alcançar a justiça espacial porque permitem melhor e mais fácil acesso aos serviços jurídicos por parte dos cidadãos.
