Justiça (English title: Above Justice) is a Brazilian miniseries by Rede Globo that aired from 22 August to 23 September 2016 at 11 pm. It was written by Manuela Dias, co-written by Mariana Mesquita, Lucas Paraizo and Roberto Vitorino, and it was directed by Isabella Teixeira, Luísa Lima, Marcus Figueiredo and Walter Carvalho, with general and artistic direction by José Luiz Villamarim.

Set both initially in 2009 and then in 2016 in Recife, each weekly episode follows one of four different set of characters whose stories are interconnected. It stars Adriana Esteves, Julia Dalavia, Marina Ruy Barbosa, Drica Moraes, Antonio Calloni, Cássio Gabus Mendes, Cauã Reymond, Marjorie Estiano, Luisa Arraes, Jéssica Ellen, Jesuíta Barbosa and Débora Bloch at the main roles.

In Brazil, Justiça was received well by viewers and critics alike. The show had a daily reach of approximately 41 million viewers and a total reach of approximately 134 million viewers. The first four episodes were made available on Globo Play before the miniseries premiered on network television.

Justiça was shot in Recife, capital of Pernambuco, in an effort by Rede Globo to set some of its works outside of the Rio-São Paulo axis. According to the director, Recife was chosen due to its economic inequality being greater than the rest of the country, which gives the series more veracity. To Villamarim, "Recife is a synthesis of Brazil". In the municipality, Pina Beach, Boa Viagem Beach, Teatro de Santa Isabel, Palácio do Campo das Princesas, Mercado de São José and the Holiday Building were used as filming locations.In Olinda, some streets were used as location such as Ladeira da Misericórdia, among others, as well as Largo do Amparo. In Jaboatão dos Guararapes, the Barra de Jangada Beach was used. The way the story is told, interconnecting four different stories, was already used in movies such as Short Cuts, Crash and Babel. The cast preparation was done by Chico Accioly and rabbi Nilton Bonder.
