What is access to justice?Show answer
Access to justice means more than having rights on paper. It means people can understand their rights, get advice, afford to pursue a claim and have their matter heard fairly and within a reasonable time. The main elements often discussed are the three "E"s: engagement (people knowing and using the system), equality (fair treatment regardless of background) and efficiency (timely, affordable outcomes).
