TJAL lawsuit search by CPF

To search TJAL cases by CPF, access ESAJ at esaj.tjal.jus.br/cpopg/open.do (1st instance) or /cposg/open.do (2nd instance). Select "Consulta por Documento (CPF/CNPJ)", enter the CPF formatted as NNN.NNN.NNN-NN and solve the CAPTCHA. The system returns cases in all 102 Alagoas comarcas (Maceió, Arapiraca, Rio Largo, Palmeira dos Índios, Penedo, União dos Palmares). Coastal comarcas like Maragogi, Japaratinga and São Miguel dos Milagres concentrate seasonal real-estate disputes due to tourism. For volume, the Vigilant API queries TJAL in ~60s and returns structured JSON.
