The Open Society Justice Initiative undertakes strategic litigation in national, regional, and international courts and administrative forums across the globe to advance Open Society Foundations’ goals and priorities. The Justice Initiative is comprised of lawyers and human rights practitioners with a wide range of practice experience who integrate in-court interventions with out of court legal advocacy, grant making and community engagement. The Justice Initiative works closely with OSF’s regional and global programs to deploy the tool of strategic litigation effectively, and to provide support to OSF grantees and partners who wish to do the same.
