What we do
Measuring Justice
Justice is about the common people. That’s why we go straight to the people in various countries to measure their justice satisfaction and learn about their legal needs.
Supporting Justice Innovations
After thousands of years of outdated justice, we think it’s about time we speed things up. That’s why we find and support the best justice in a region or country.
Transforming Justice
Real justice transformation requires diversity and shared commitment to a goal. Our experts help create transformations that are grounded in reality. Come together around a challenge.
Researching Solutions
We keep track of what works, what the barriers in solving the most prevalent legal problems are and what the ‘dead-ends’ in the justice sector are. Curious? Read on.
How we work
In the past 15 years we have developed a unique data-, research- and innovation-driven approach for delivering our mission.
