Book excerpt: The primary goal of the "Access to Justice" movement is to improve the quality of participation in the justice system by all. It also envisions an even playing field for the disadvantaged by removing barriers to access, such as income, literacy, mobility, and language, for those individuals with civil legal needs. The movement is a multifaceted one, consisting of a variety of institutions, including courts, other government stakeholders, legal services providers, bar associations, and other advocates of enhanced legal assistance.
