Innovating Justice Forum

The 2020 Innovating Justice Forum will focus on Building the Business Case for Financing Justice.

The justice gap has been defined by landmark reports in 2019. Demand for effective justice services from people is huge. We look to find what are the investable opportunities that will bridge the justice gap?

As always, the HiiL Innovating Justice Forum is the place where perspectives on user friendly justice meet: bottom up and institutional; start up and courts; informal and formal justice; innovation and research; UN inspired movements next to innovation in Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg, The Hague or Kyiv; and transformation in Abuja, Bamako and Beirut.

The purpose of the forum is to:

• Get a birds eye view of the needs for financing justice
• Understand the dynamics of current financial streams in the justice sector
• Explore the best innovations and how revenues can be increased
• Define measurable outcomes to make the case for investment
• Budgeting and public/private partnerships to finance 100% access to justice
