The Economic Case for People-Centered Justice Fact Sheet
While data about unmet legal needs and unresolved justice problems exists, there is little systematic evidence about their impacts and costs.
This fact sheet gives a high-level overview on how Justice Action Coalition country case studies on the economic value of people-centered justice aim to develop and apply a methodology to estimate the costs of legal needs and justice problems for individuals, their families, the justice sector, and society at large.
Ultimately, this work aims to increase the understanding of the costs of justice problems in different countries.
