About CJC

The Community Justice Centre (CJC) is an independent charity with IPC (Institute of Public Character) status conferred. Based in the State Courts, the CJC is committed to ensuring litigants in person (LIPs) have access to justice through community partnership.

As an integrated one-stop hub, CJC aims to provide a wide range of support services for the litigants in Person (LIPs) and their family members. It will provide free practical and emotional support to LIPs in need as well as free legal advice at the legal clinics. Through the support of the CJC, the LIPs should be able to better present their case, follow proceedings and understand judicial rulings or pronouncements in their respective cases.

Many LIPs have to deal with the burden of underlying emotional distress, financial difficulties and other social issues in addition to their legal problem. In collaboration with other social services agencies, the CJC also hopes that the underlying social problems and concerns for the litigants and their family members can be addressed. It is this combination of legal and emotional support that makes CJC unique. The CJC will always be near at hand to guide LIPs through the challenges of their legal problem, providing direct and immediate assistance on the ground.
