How can we help people to identify and select the most appropriate type of support for their problem and their individual needs as early as possible? For example, situations that can be resolved without formal legal advice and situations where legal support should be encouraged.
Background
The objective for MoJ is to improve the way people are supported to resolve their legal matters in a fair and efficient way, that leads to positive and sustained outcomes. This includes delivering a modern and efficient courts and tribunal service that harnesses the potential of digital innovation. We want to enhance our understanding of complex journeys through the justice system, including the interaction between civil, family and criminal justice systems.
