Understanding the demands and priorities
of poor persons is important to effectively target services
in the justice sector. To help enhance data, in 2012 the
Department of Statistics implemented a survey of 10,000
households focusing on the justice sector the first of its
kind in Jordan. The survey was administered throughout the
country, covering both rural and urban areas. Its primary
objective was to identify the most common types of legal
disputes and the characteristics of the households and
individuals involved. The survey demonstrates that the most
frequent types of cases reported vary by the expenditure
levels of respondents. The key areas for reform to impact
poverty include: improving the quality of services in
personal status cases, especially access to alimony, child
support and inheritance; simplifying the process of
deferring court fees for poor persons; and strengthening
special services developed to address personal status
issues, including the newly-established alimony fund. |
