SUMMARY:IBA Bar breakfast hosted by the Japanese Federation of Bar Associ
 ations (JFBA): the role of bar associations to improve access to justice
 
DESCRIPTION:This session will explore the role of bar associations to imp
 rove access to justice. Speakers from across the world will share their 
 experience of their bar associations to improve access to justice in and
  outside their countries.\n\nThe Japan Federation of Bar Associations (J
 FBA) has endeavoured to improve access to justice. For example\, the JFB
 A has financially supported the establishment of law offices in areas su
 ffering from a shortage of attorneys.\n\nThe JFBA also provides funds fo
 r certain cases\, including cases brought by foreign nationals without r
 esident status\, which have not been covered by publicly funded legal ai
 d. Recently\, the JFBA has started to introduce an appropriate attorney 
 of a bar association to any insured person who has purchased legal expen
 ses insurance from an insurance company under an agreement with the JFBA
 .\n\nThe JFBA has also worked to improve access to justice outside Japan
 . For example\, the JFBA has organised the Access to Justice Conference 
 in Asia four times in the past: the most recent was in Cambodia.
