Justice Survey 2003

Gathering Public Opinion on the Administration of Justice in India

There is a slow but growing awareness in India, to its systems for the administration of justice. Over the last decade, the country has initiated far-reaching judicial reforms, to re-look at various laws, clear the backlog of cases pending in the various courts of law, speed up the processing of cases and, to widen the access to justice for citizens, with a general view of increasing the efficiency and the legitimacy of administration of justice.

In view of these developments, it is necessary to have a reliable instrument to measure the opinions and attitudes of the population vis-à-vis the administration of justice. This feedback from the general public is important & imperative.

To meet this objective, the Law & Justice Foundation of India has commissioned a project called The India Justice Survey 2003. The survey consists of interviews and feedback from a cross-section of the Indian society - a representative sample of over 100,000 households in 10 major cities. All respondents are asked to give their opinion on various aspects of the justice system in general, and some of its civil and criminal components.
