JUSTICE stands as the conscience and heart of the legal profession – be part of it.

JUSTICE is a membership organisation and a law reform charity, working to build a fairer UK justice system within everyone’s reach. Over our 67-year history, we have transformed the legal landscape for the better, led by evidence, expertise, and a focus on practical solutions.  

Our members include everyone from students, lawyers, and senior judges to social workers and academics. Their support and expertise allow us to carry out our vital work. 

JUSTICE is a company limited by guarantee and all members are also members of the company. 

Five reasons to join JUSTICE: 
  1. We are independent: Because it is not party political, JUSTICE commands respect across the political spectrum. We have representatives from each of the main political parties on our governing body.
  2. We are expert: JUSTICE draws on international research and caselaw, and the specialist input of experts to advise on public policy.
  3. We are influential: Our membership of prominent barristers and solicitors, distinguished academics, leading firms and chambers and many individuals and organisations engaged in human rights.
  4. We are effective: Key legal bodies we now take for granted such as the Ombudsman and the Crown Prosecution Service were proposed and supported into being by JUSTICE.
  5. We are international: As the British section of the International Commission of Jurists, we work with colleagues from across the world on areas of common interest and concern.
