Dale, Pamela2018-10-092018-10-092009-01https://hdl.handle.net/10986/30532This report introduces findings from qualitative, case-study-based field research undertaken in late 2007 as part of a review of the work of Timap for justice (Timap), a not for-profit paralegal and advocacy organization in Sierra Leone. The analysis was intended to explain how and to what extent Timap has achieved its goals, in particular: 1) to help people achieve concrete solutions to justice problems; and 2) to increase the accountability and fairness of both traditional and formal governmental institutions. The primary audience for this report is Timap's directors and paralegals, though the data may also be useful to other paralegal organizations in developing nations, institutions with a focus on justice and rule of law, development institutions, and a wider audience with an interest in local-level justice.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCESS TO JUSTICEADVOCACYBEGGINGCASE HISTORIESCASE MANAGEMENTCHILD SUPPORTCOMMON LAWCONTENTSCOURTCOURTSCRIMECRIMESCUSTOMARY LAWCUSTOMSDESCRIPTIONDISPUTE RESOLUTIONDIVORCEDOMESTIC VIOLENCEELECTRONIC FILINGEMPOWERMENTEXTENSIONFAMILIESFAMILY RELATIONSHIPSFARMERSFARMSFEMALEFILINGGENDERGENDER DIFFERENCESHOMEHOMESHUMAN RIGHTSHUMAN RIGHTS PRINCIPLESIMPRISONMENTINCOMESINTERNATIONAL LAWINVESTIGATIONJUSTICEJUSTICE SYSTEMLAWSLAWYERSLITERACYLITIGATIONMEDIAMEDIATIONMEDIATORSOFFENSEPARENTAL RESPONSIBILITYPARENTSPOLICE OFFICERPREGNANCYPRIVACYRAPERELIGIOUS LEADERSRESEARCHERRESEARCHERSRESOLUTION OF DISPUTESRIGHTS OF THE CHILDRULE OF LAWSEXUAL ASSAULTTERMINOLOGYWARWIFEWILLWOMANYOUTHJUSTICE FOR THE POORWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/30532
