JUSTICE Scotland was launched in 2012 as the Scottish branch of JUSTICE – a law reform organisation that has been driving positive change within the UK justice system since 1957. JUSTICE carries out research, publishes expert reports with practical recommendations, and then works with the key decision makers to implement our recommendations. We regularly meet with senior decision-makers across Parliament to discuss our recommendations; brief the Government on relevant new legislation; respond to Government consultations, often together with other organisations; host events and expert roundtables; and intervene in cases where we can assist the courts by providing an independent analysis of human rights principles and standards. Over our 67-year history we have transformed the legal landscape for the better, led by evidence, expertise, and a focus on practical solutions. We are the only non-governmental organisation whose work spans the whole of the UK justice system - from family and housing law to policing, benefits decision making, and much more – touching the lives of people across the country. Key legal bodies we now take for granted such as the Ombudsman, the Crown Prosecution Service, and the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board were all proposed and supported into being by JUSTICE.
