This post was originally published by Legal Aid Ontario as part of the Personal perspectives on access to justice series. Access to justice Traditionally access to justice has been seen as providing access to dispute resolution tools, including effective access to courts and tribunals. No one should have to lose their liberty, family, residency status, home or source of income without a fair shot at due process. With dispute resolution effective access is key, and necessarily includes the provision of competent legal services to ensure that parties to a dispute can navigate the technical requirements and barriers established by a formal dispute resolution mechanism such as the justice system.
