    The Contributions of the Comprehensive Justice System Reform Program in Improving Access to Justice: The Case of the Federal Courts in Addis Ababa
    (Addis Ababa University, 2018-11) Demissew, Tefera; Bikila, Hurisa (PhD)
    Access to justice is one of the fundamental rights of citizens. It enables citizens to enforce their rights in cases of infrigment of rights by going to a court of law and seeking remedy. However, different barriers to access to justice impede citzens from going to courts and enforcing their rights. The denial of the basic right of access to justice of citizens forces citizens to take the law in to their hands. This leads to rise of conflict and instability in a country(Pietro et al, 2014, p.15). Therefore, states should work to eliminate or reduce the barriers to access to justice through justice reforms. The government in Ethiopia also initiated the JSRP (later called CJSRP)to eliminate or reduce the barriers to access to justice and improve access to justice in Ethiopia. And this research tries to identify the contributions of the CJSRP in eliminating or reducing the barriers to access to justice and improving the access to justice of the Federal Courts in Addis Ababa City Adminstration.
