The great UK tradition of the Magna Carta remains vital, say Martha de la Roche & Ruth Daniel
At the heart of the Magna Carta was the concept that there should be proper access to justice. With the recent changes in the provision of legal aid, cuts in government spending and the increasing complexity of citizens’ interaction with the law, the ability to obtain access to justice remains as relevant today as it was when the barons gathered at Runnymede.
The Access to Justice Foundation is a national charity established in 2008 by the legal profession and the advice sector. The foundation aims to provide access to justice for the most vulnerable in society by raising funds and distributing them to organisations that support those who need legal help but cannot afford it.
The free legal advice sector provides a vital means of ensuring that the continued provision of proper access to justice is maintained. The Access to Justice Foundation is proud to support that sector and play its own role
