A webinar presented by the IBA Access to Justice and Legal Aid Committee, supported by the Mediation Committee.

A fair and accessible justice system ensures social cohesion and empowers all citizens, especially marginalised groups; the role of this system becomes all the more important as democracy increasingly comes under attack. This webinar aims to create awareness, strengthen and clarify the role of access to justice when democracy is under threat.

As we are limited to 1,000 registrants, we request that you please only register for this event if you will be attending.
