The Law & Justice Foundation Research Centre (LJRC) projects address to significant -often controversial - justice issues, where results make a substantial contribution to the policy development and law reform, in India.

The LJRC research projects are an independent public interest research organisation. Its research is influential because of its quality and objectivity.

Core funding will be received from the LJRC , but the Centre will in depend on support from other sources. The Centre will actively seek financial support from justice system `stakeholders` to whom the work will have value because it will seek to improve policy development and law reform outcomes.

The LJRC will,from time to time, receive grants and donations from private sector organisations, international organisations. However, the Centre will insist on autonomy over the scope and design of projects and complete discretion over publication of results.
