JUSTICE

Who we are

JUSTICE is a cross-party law reform charity working to build a fair UK justice system within everyone’s reach.   

Over our 69-year history we have transformed the legal landscape for the better, led by evidence, expertise, and a focus on practical solutions. Our work spans the whole justice system - from family and housing law to policing, benefits decision making, and more – touching the lives of people across the country.  

Key legal bodies we now take for granted, such as the Ombudsman, the Crown Prosecution Service, and the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board were all proposed and supported into being by JUSTICE. 

JUSTICE’s work is known for its independence and rigor and is grounded in deep subject-matter expertise. We bring together experts from within and beyond law – including people with lived experience of interacting with the justice system – to develop realistic solutions to key challenges. 

Our culture and values

Independence: 

We are an independent, trusted voice. We prize our objectivity, impartiality, and political neutrality. We are led by evidence, data, and careful analysis. This rigor and independence enable us to maintain strong trust and hold decision-makers to account.

Innovation:

We are innovative. We are not afraid to think differently and challenge the status quo when it is not working. We are forward looking and aim to set the agenda for justice system reform.

Integrity:

We are evidence-led and value integrity. All JUSTICE’s work is carefully evidence based. We work with transparency and intellectual rigour, and we speak out with courage when appropriate.

Inclusivity: 

We are inclusive. We seek a wide range of perspectives and expertise, ensuring the voices of those with lived experience and those most in need of a better justice system are heard loud and clear. We believe listening and empathy are critical to good policymaking.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

JUSTICE is an equal opportunities employer. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and welcome everyone who shares our values and purpose regardless of age, gender, race, region, socio-economic background, education, sexuality, identity, disability, and neurodiversity.
