Access to justice refers to the ability of individuals to seek and obtain a fair resolution of legal disputes. It ensures that everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation, can understand and navigate the legal system. This concept is essential for upholding the rule of law and protecting individual rights. Barriers to access to justice can include high legal fees, complex legal processes, and a lack of legal representation. Organizations and initiatives, such as legal aid and pro bono services, aim to reduce these barriers, making legal assistance more available to those in need.
