Access to swift, fair, and effective justice is a cornerstone of a healthy democracy, but in many countries, the justice system falls short of delivering this to citizens. PartnersGlobal works on the local, state, and national level with governments, justice system officials, lawyers, and civil society to improve citizens’ access to justice. Together with our partners, we advance critical legal reforms, strengthen judicial institutions, and ensure the most marginalized in society know their rights and have access to quality legal services.
