Research: contemporary evidence and information


The Law and Justice Foundation of NSW is undertaking a program of research projects which identify
  • legal and access to justice needs through rigorous, evidence-based research, and the analysis of information from internal and external sources — the Access to Justice and Legal Needs Program
  • effective reforms, initiatives and programs through research, evaluation and consultation — What Works.

Research strategy

Our strategy is to conduct rigorous, independent research which can inform policy development.

Our focus is on access to justice needs, in particular those of socially and economically disadvantaged people in NSW.

Our research projects are characterised by an empirical approach, in which documented and transparent socio-legal methodologies are applied.



» National Survey in progress


Until June 2008, interviewers from Roy Morgan Research will be contacting people throughout Australia. These interviews are for a national legal needs telephone survey being undertaken by the Law and Justice Foundation of NSW, supported by all Australian state and territory Legal Aid Commissions. All responses are anonymous.

The survey builds on the earlier NSW survey and aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of Australians' legal needs. Findings will assist in developing legal services and policy. The Foundation thanks respondents for their cooperation.
