National Center for Access to Justice

The NCAJ is rooted in the principle that all people should enjoy access to justice. By access to justice refers to getting meaningful opportunity to be heard, secure one’s rights and obtain the law’s protection. NCAJ uses data, research and policy analysis to expose how the justice system fails to stand up for equal justice. The organization also identifies the best policy solutions to complex problems, and assess how states measure up against those benchmarks.
