This study presents part of the results of a master’s degree research that investigated the lack of methodologies in the literature of Librarianship and Information Science (IS) for the subject analysis of legal ruling documents. As the analysis of rulings is essentially subjective, systematized methodological procedures are necessary to make it more objective and thus, obtain greater consistency in the thematic representation of information. In this context, the aim of the study was to develop a methodology for systematizing the rulings  analysis  to minimize the subjectivity that is inherent to the analysis process of this type of document during technical reading. This is an exploratory, qualitative, applied case study conducted at the Tribunal de Contas do Estado de Minas Gerais (Court of Audit of the state of Minas Gerais). Based on theoretical-conceptual contributions of Librarianship, Information Science and Law, a model for the technical reading of rulings from the court of audit was developed. The model’s framework consisted of the document thematic structure, identification of essential concepts based on questions, use of cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies, and adoption of categories of thematic analysis defined by Guimarães. The results of the study indicate that the systematized practice of subject analysis can facilitate the analysis process when the methodological procedures for the indexer carrying out the activity are clearly defined.
