The Judicial Systems for Commerce & Economy (JUSTICE) project is a partnership between the National Judicial Institute and the Office of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs. The purpose of JUSTICE is to support private sector development by strengthening the ability of courts and judges to efficiently and fairly determine commercial cases in Peru, Ghana and Jamaica. JUSTICE focuses on developing the skills of judges and court personnel, as well as improving the functioning of the courts, all to strengthen the court system and make it a useful instrument for an enabling legal environment to support economic development. There are two phases to JUSTICE. Phase 1 involves partner consultations and a diagnostic assessment leading to capacity development plans to adjudicate commercial cases. Phase 2 involves the development and implementation of capacity development plans tailored to each partner.
