Access to Justice in a Democratic Rule of Law
Access to justice is often mentioned, sometimes with the warning that it is in danger or absent in a specific case. However, the precise meaning of this term is rarely discussed. This problem is not limited to the Netherlands.
Researcher Hazel Genn emphasizes in a recent lecture that the legal field uses the term 'access to justice' as a collective name for various concepts, which are discussed in a confusing and contradictory manner without a clear definition. Outside the legal world, moreover, there is often a lack of clear meaning or relevance of the term.
This book attempts to unravel the various meanings of access to justice and provides insight into its role within a democratic rule of law. It is written in an accessible style and contains both historical and recent cases.
