  • Abstract:
  • Access to justice is essential in any given society. As a result, nations often attempt to put up structures that will help enhance access to justice for its citizens. In achieving this desire, the court system often sits at vantage position to ensure that justice is well dispensed to all persons not minding one’s status. However, the manner in which courts are managed is equally essential in ascertaining if citizens are able to access justice or not. It is against this background that this study examines the role of the court administration as well as case management system in strengthening access to justice in Nigeria. The findings from implementation of the court administration and case management project in Nasarawa State by Public and Private Development Centre (PPDC) through the grant from United State Agency for International Development through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement. (USAID/INL) reveal that access to justice in Nigeria is largely a far cry from how it should be. This is because many persons who desire to access justice cannot due to sundry reasons including the court administration and case management systems. While, there are a few initiatives with projects to address some of these challenges, the efforts are largely constrained by a number of factors. Against these surmountable challenges, some solutions are proffered.
