The access to justice crisis is overwhelming. Some stats: 92% of people with civil legal problems who did not receive any or enough legal assistance in 2022, up from 86% in 2017. In at least 75% of civil cases, at least one party is self represented, meaning they go it alone through a daunting process stacked against them. The US is ranked #115 of 140 countries on affordability of access to legal support. We believe technology can and should be part of the solution. Justice Technology Association is the first and only organization bringing together like-minded tech entrepreneurs in pursuit of equity in the justice system. We support innovative solutions designed to modernize interaction with the legal system, making it more accessible, efficient and fair for everyone. Our work centers around three main goals: 1. Building an ecosystem of justice tech entrepreneurs, investors, top reform advocates, academic innovators, policy experts, tech leaders, and like-minded organizations - all working to increase access to justice through technology. 2. Supporting ethical, mission-focused startups that are creating tech solutions to the access to justice crisis by eliminating roadblocks and raising awareness of this nascent sector. 3. Centering consumer benefit and mitigating consumer harm for those who need affordable legal support. We are 100% volunteer-driven and your support will enable us to scale to further support underrepresented entrepreneurs and narrow the justice gap for the billions of people who cannot currently access their rights. Because the law belongs to all of us, not just those who can afford it.

We are a community justice agency that serves the City of Victoria and the Township of Esquimalt. We accept referrals from: Victoria Police, Crown, schools, ICBC, community agencies, and individuals in the community. Participation in an RJ process is voluntary for all involved, and is applicable for both youth and adults. RJ is an option at all stages of the criminal justice system. This means that offenders can be diverted at the pre-charge stage by police or Crown, or, alternatively, Crown or a judge (upon request from the victim and with the cooperation of the offender) may also permit a restorative process to parallel traditional criminal justice proceedings. In addition, RJ can be used post-sentencing, usually at the request of the victim or offender. In all cases, the offenders must take responsibility for their actions and be prepared to address the harm they have caused. Victims are never forced to participate, and their needs are given primacy.
