P. 3

Established  in  1957  by  a  group  of  leading  jurists,  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. We are a membership
          organisation, composed largely of legal professionals, ranging from law students to
          the senior judiciary.

          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. To this end:


          •    We carry out research and analysis to generate, develop and evaluate ideas
               for law reform, drawing on the experience and insights of our members.


          •    We intervene in superior domestic and international courts, sharing our legal
               research, analysis and arguments to promote strong and effective judgments.

          •    We  promote  a  better  understanding  of  the  fair  administration  of  justice
               among political decision-makers and public servants.

          •    We  bring  people  together  to  discuss  critical  issues  relating  to  the  justice
               system, and to provide a thoughtful legal framework to inform policy debate.
