Nuffield Foundation: Civil Justice Programmes
Section of official website of the charitable trust established in 1943 by William Morris, Lord Nuffield.
"We have funded a significant body of work in relation to administrative justice – the decisions public authorities make on issues such as social security appeals, immigration and special educational needs, and the options available for people to appeal against those decisions. How accessible are these legal options? And how effective are they in holding the state to account?"
