JUSTICE is a cross-party UK charity founded in 1957 that works to strengthen the rule of law, protect human rights, and ensure fair legal systems. As the British section of the International Commission of Jurists, JUSTICE conducts research, advocates for legal reform, and intervenes in landmark court cases. Its work spans six priority areas: the rule of law, public sector accountability, the criminal legal system, AI and technology, equality and discrimination, and social welfare and family law. The organization's AI workstream proposes rights-based frameworks for governing AI use in the justice system, ensuring that technology enhances rather than undermines access to justice and human rights.

Theory of Change
JUSTICE believes that a fair justice system strengthens democracy, builds trust, and enables all people to thrive. The organization works by conducting expert legal research and policy analysis, convening working parties of leading practitioners and academics, intervening in landmark court cases, and briefing politicians from all parties on draft legislation. On AI specifically, JUSTICE argues that technology must be governed through concrete, enforceable legal rights rather than abstract ethics principles, and that AI tools in the justice system must demonstrably improve access to justice, fair decision-making, and transparency while embedding human rights protections throughout design, development, and deployment. By providing a rights-based framework for AI governance, JUSTICE aims to ensure that AI deployment enhances rather than undermines the rule of law and protects against algorithmic discrimination and erosion of judicial independence.
