Judicial access refers to the ability of individuals to seek and obtain justice through the legal system. It ensures that everyone, regardless of their background or financial status, can present their case in front of a court and have it heard by a judge. This access is crucial for upholding the rule of law and protecting individual rights.
Barriers to judicial access can include high legal fees, complex procedures, and lack of legal representation. Organizations often work to improve access by providing resources, such as legal aid and community education, helping people navigate the system and ensuring that justice is available to all.
