The Justice Gap - new website
There’s a new website in town, called The Justice Gap - it is an online magazine about the law aimed at ordinary people (as opposed to lawyers, businesses etc).
They say that:
* They are about the law as it relates to you.
* They are about journalism and, in particular, shining a light on those parts of the justice system that don’t often see the light of day in the mainstream media.
* They are interested in the broad sweep of the law: human rights, the criminal justice system, family, employment through to consumer issues. In other words, all aspects of the law that relate to you in your day-to-day life.
* They are editorially independent.
* They aim to promote ‘access to justice’ – in other words, we want to improve the ability of people to enforce legitimately held rights.
To that end, they want to develop the site as a resource of useful and interesting information about legal rights under the Advice Guide. It’s a long-term project. They launched on October 6th 2011.
