| Summary: | Access to justice is a 'big
tent' for law programs broadly writ and has been so for
over 25 years. Traditionally, access to justice has been
treated as a category of interventions rather than a
heuristic device from which to learn and experiment. In the
old, old days, access to justice meant legal aid, support
for narrow categories of human rights cases (so-called test
case litigation), discrete support for formal legal
institutions, and at least through The Asia Foundation and
Ford Foundation discrete support for community based
mediation and nascent civil society groups that supported paralegals. |
