Rule of Law

Legal research and advice for justice, governance and access-to-justice programmes.

How Horn Legal can help

Start with the facts and the legal question.

Rule-of-law work can concern legislation, courts, legal aid, policing or the way people reach and use public institutions. We help clients define the legal problem before deciding what a programme should do about it.

Our role may include research, an institutional assessment, consultation, programme design or drafting. We pay particular attention to who is responsible for implementation and how the proposed change will affect people using the justice system.
