Access to Justice News Service

Earlier this week, Law360 announced a new section on its website called Access to Justice. Law360 is a legal news service under the LexisNexis umbrella and requires a subscription, however this new section will be available free to the public. Access to Justice will focus on coverage of rule of law issues for vulnerable and disadvantaged populations. According to LexisNexis and Law360, there are four components to the rule of law: “transparency of the law, access to legal remedy, equal treatment under the law, and independent judiciaries.” Readers may sign up to receive a weekly Access to Justice newsletter via email, or access the content from the Law360 homepage. LexisNexis also offers a Rule of Law Impact Tracker that “quantifies the relationship between rule of law and social and economic development.”
