Justice innovators.
This is an initiative to introspect into the accessibility and availability of adjudicatory mechanisms to the citizens of various countries. Providing justice to the aggrieved is a very basic right. However, many ground realities intervene as barriers to access of justice-poverty, illiteracy, physical inaccessibility, bureaucratic indifference, to name a few. It is to remedy these inequities that it becomes necessary to quantify the extent to which a citizen can access mechanisms for administering justice.
We aim to provide a comprehensive, in-depth and measurable account of what access to justice is, what its components are and what barriers prevent it from being achieved, et al. We seek to find what rights actually exist for the common man in a society supposedly teeming with laws. We hope to provide some insights into how to bridge the divide between a law on paper and law in practice, in our quest to ensure justice for everyone.
