INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCEMENT OF JUSTICE AND DISABILITY RIGHTS

 

Justice is an indispensable cornerstone of a human society that realizes its full potential.

Throughout the world, systems of jurisprudence are used by every country to ensure " the rule of law " . But the rule of law is not the same as justice. It is important to continually monitor and study jurisprudence to differentiate between current jurisprudence and justice. Only by identifying the conflicts between the two, and processes to address the deviation is meaningful improvement of jurisprudence possible.

In every country, jurisprudence has a history. Whether it is organic to that society, or whether it was transplanted from elsewhere, or is a blend of multiple sources, it needs to evolve and stay in tune with the evolution of humanity, and the times. For this, awareness of each system's fundamental assumptions and precepts, and their historical roots and evolution, are essential. As important is to subject that system to tests of quality and effectiveness.

Humanity's history demonstrates changes in norms and attitudes and beliefs. Like a growing child, the people mature and change with time. New issues and needs to be addressed by any system of jurisprudence, thus requiring modernization over time through inclusion of current knowledge and beliefs, and to continually leave antiquity and keep up with the current heartbeat of life so as not to impede the expansion of collective consciousness.

Failure to evolve jurisprudence and minimize its divergence from justice is a fundamental restrictive influence on the evolution of humanity.

At no time in commonly-accepted recorded history has the pace of human progress, and expansion of human consciousness been more speedy and potent than today. Therefore, this institute aspires to research and evaluate, on an on-going basis, the divergence between jurisprudence and justice, and identify processes and means by which to minimize the deviation of jurisprudence from justice. The institute will also publish, as a media organization, information about issues and needs related to its goal, to keep the public informed and invite their participation and contribution with its efforts to benefit humanity.

Using principles used in testing highly complex and inter-dependent systems, it is no surprise that this institute pays attention to "boundary testing" principles. In such type of testing, the most vulnerable and disadvantage person is followed through jurisprudence to see the result. In a global society where the belief that "money buys justice" is strongly held by all, if the most vulnerable and disadvantaged person with no money is put through jurisprudence, the correct outcome is justice independent of vulnerability, disadvantage or money. The very existence of this institute is testament that this simple test has failed catastrophically. A very effective litmus test is the plight of persons with disability who flesh out the divergence of jurisprudence from justice.

In studying jurisprudence, we intend to marry statistical methods with qualitative analyses. Patterns embedded, for example, in public records of litigation contain valuable information that characterize the effectiveness of systems of jurisprudence according to criteria that this institute hopes to evolve and identify for the public benefit.
