People with disabilities continue to face attitudinal, legal, communication, physical, and economic barriers across legal systems. A critical component of ensuring access to justice for all is addressing barriers faced by those with disabilities.
The Office for Access to Justice is a standalone agency within the U.S. Department of Justice that plans, develops, and coordinates the implementation of access to justice policy initiatives of high priority to the Department and the executive branch. The Office for Access to Justice works to break down barriers to the founding principle and enduring promise of the Department of Justice: equal justice under law.
