Beyond the Jargon

What does justice mean, and who gets to define it?

In this episode, Law and Society PhD student Aaron Leakey discusses his work on “the justice gap”: the disconnect between how legal institutions administer justice and how people who have experienced violence actually perceive justice. Through his work with the Access to Justice Center for Excellence (ACE) legal design lab at UVic, Aaron explores how to create legal systems that are more responsive, empowering, and centred around survivors’ lived experiences.
