About us
JUSTICE is an all-party law reform and human rights organisation working to
strengthen the justice system – administrative, civil and criminal – in the United
Kingdom. Our vision is of fair, accessible and efficient legal processes, in which the
individual's rights are protected, and which reflect the country's international
reputation for upholding and promoting the rule of law.
We are a membership
organisation, largely of legal professionals.
What we do

We carry out research and analysis to generate, develop and evaluate ideas
for law reform. In doing so, we draw on evidence, experience and expertise
from the United Kingdom and across the world

We intervene in superior domestic and international courts, sharing our
research, analysis and arguments with courts to support their work and
promote strong and effective legal judgments

We promote a better understanding of the fair administration of justice among
decision-makers and public servants

We bring people together to discuss critical issues about the justice system,
and to provide a thoughtful legal framework to policy debates
