Institute for Justice Reform and Innovation

Mission Statement

The Institute for Justice Reform and Innovation (IJRI) promotes justice in courts and the legal profession through scholarship and action connecting law to the humanities and social sciences. By adopting the norm of justice, not rule of law alone, the IJRI seeks increased legitimacy of the judicial system and the profession, that they may warrant public trust.
