Justice

Founded in 1957, JUSTICE is the British Section of the International Commission of Jurists. It is an all-party law reform and human rights organisation working to build a fairer UK justice system. Its work spans the whole justice system – from family and housing law to policing, benefits decision making, and more, with around 1500 members and a large student human rights network. Key legal bodies we now take for granted, such as the Ombudsman, the Crown Prosecution Service, and the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board were all proposed and supported into being by JUSTICE. The most recent grant funded JUSTICE’s work on human rights law in Scotland.

The Trust formerly supported Justice form 2009 to 2012.
