Accessibility, responsiveness and quality of justice
Access to Justice refers to the ability of people, businesses and communities to prevent conflicts and obtain effective, fair, equitable and timely resolution of their legal and justice-related needs (OECD, forthcoming). Another aspect is legal empowerment, which enables meaningful participation in the justice system and builds people’s capacity to understand and use the law (OECD, 2019). On average, OECD countries scored 0.65 out of a maximum of 1 points in the accessibility and affordability of civil justice dimension of the 2022 World Justice Project (WJP) Rule of Law index, an increase of 0.03 points since 2016. The Netherlands (0.79), Denmark (0.78), and Germany (0.77) had the highest scores. The most significant increases were in Estonia (0.08 points), Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Türkiye (+0.07 each) (Figure ). Scores fell in the United Kingdom (-0.04), the Czech Republic, Mexico (-0.02 each) and Chile (-0.01).
