Open Society Justice Initiative

The Open Society Justice Initiative, an operational program of the Open Society Institute (OSI), pursues law reform activities grounded in the protection of human rights, and contributes to the development of legal capacity for open societies worldwide. The Initiative seeks to shape law reform policy through technical assistance to governments, NGOs, and intergovernmental bodies; litigation and legal assistance; knowledge dissemination and network building among law reform advocates; and advice to donor institutions supporting the rule of law. It operates regional level projects in Central and Eastern Europe/Former Soviet Union, and Asia and Latin America.
