In the present work we tried to analyze if the evidential records coming from the virtual environment can have their use justified in the same principle principles and positive rules in the legal system in force. Moreover, it was verified through the jurisprudential research of the Regional Labor Court of Alagoas (TRT of the 19th Region), the position of the State Justice before this digital argumentative artifice. The approach of the subject was materialized by the hypothetical-deductive method, which was based on legal-theoretical research, as well as the analysis of labor disputes that had as a tool for convincing the magistrate, the posts collected on social networks. The presentation of the paper was divided into three chapters, explaining the principles and rules of evidence production, the form, purpose, its probative species, and finally, how the judge embraces digital evidence in a labor court case, grounding its valuation in accordance with current legislation. As a result, it is conceivable that valuing virtual evidence in the field of labor law only with the rules in force, which is the best and most balanced solution to litigation today, removing from the lawsuit the slowness and bureaucracy of complementation. or normative creation.
