Access to Justice: Pels Rijcken provides fund for meaningful contributions to access to justice

7 November 2024

With the fund, Pels Rijcken wants to promote activities that make it easier for people to determine their legal position or to obtain justice. Do you have a project that promotes access to justice? Register and have a chance to receive €20,000!

Why Access to Justice?

Individuals or smaller entrepreneurs may find it difficult to determine their legal position and/or take legal action for many reasons, despite the fact that the existing legal system allows them to do so. This may be because they do not have sufficient access to objectively reliable information about their legal position, because they do not experience sufficient capacity to act, lack access to advice and/or support, lack financial resources, time or energy, experience feelings of discomfort, fear or shame, or lack confidence in the existing legal system. This may be experienced or addressed differently by specific groups, such as young people or less self-reliant or otherwise vulnerable individuals.

The Access to Justice Fund wants to promote projects or activity that improve access to justice (in a broad sense), regardless of origin, position or legal question.

Do you have an idea or are you already working on a concrete project? Registration for the Access to Justice Fund is now closed. Follow us on LinkedIn to stay informed about future initiatives.
