Explore how people around the world navigate everyday justice problems

The World Justice Project is pleased to launch the Global Insights on Access to Justice interactive data portal. The new data microsite brings our latest global report to life with user-friendly visualizations of global survey data on legal needs and access to justice. The report and data portal mark the first-ever effort to capture comparable data on legal needs and access to civil justice on a global scale, representing the voices of more than 100,000 people in 101 countries.

Visit the interactive microsite to explore how ordinary people worldwide navigate their everyday justice problems, including data on the most common legal problems experienced, sources of help, status of the problem, resolution process, and hardships experienced.
