Introduction
The judiciary, as a separate and independent branch of government, should provide fair and accessible justice services that protect the rights of individuals, preserve community welfare and inspire public confidence. Every court system should be part of the governmental structure of a democratic society. The values it holds should be common to all democracies, but these values also reflect the unique and pivotal role that the courts play in the political, cultural, social and economic life of every nation. To that end, Freedom Under Law has been created as a not-for-profit organisation in order to promote democracy under law and to advance the understanding and respect of the rule of law and the principle of legality. |
