The concept of access to justice focuses on two basic objectives of a legal system: 1) that it is accessible to people from all levels of society; and 2) that it is able to provide fair decisions and rules for people from all levels of society, either individually or collectively. 2012-08-13T13:28:05Z 2012-08-13T13:28:05Z 2011-03 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2011/03/13915028/increasing-access-justice-women-poor-living-remote-areas-indonesian-case-study http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10895 English Justice for the Poor Briefing Note; Volume 6, Issue No. 2 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research East Asia and Pacific Indonesia
