Abstract:
Access to justice is a fundamental human right that remains challenging for many,
especially marginalized groups. This research investigates how legal education
impacts access to justice, assessing how understanding legal rights and processesinfluences individuals' capacity to pursue justice. Through a combination of
quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, the study identifies obstacles faced by
low-income communities in navigating the legal system and emphasizes the
empowering role of legal education programs. Findings indicate that poor legal literacy
significantly obstructs access to justice, with many individuals unaware of their rights
or available resources. Additionally, the research points out that socio-economic
factors, geographical location, and systemic inequalities heighten disparities in access
to legal resources. The study calls for tailored legal education initiatives that meet
community-specific needs and encourages collaboration among government
agencies, NGOs, and legal professionals. The study reveals that low legal literacy
severely limits access to justice, as many individuals lack awareness of their rights
and available mechanisms. It also points out that inequalities in legal resource access
are worsened by sociology-economic status, geographic location, and systemic legal
inequalities. The study calls for comprehensive legal education tailored to community
needs and promotes collaboration among government agencies, NGOs, and legal
professionals.
