IMPACTS                                                                                     Difficult access to justice










                      Several impact studies carried out by


                      independent organizations (See www.


                      facilitadoresjudiciales.org)                                      show


                      effects based on the comparison be-


                      tween communities that count with a


                      judicial facilitator and others that do


                      not.  Impacts  can  be  found  in  www.


                      facilitadoresjudiciales.org  and  www.


                      oas.org/.



                      It  has  been  proven  that  the  popula-                                                    More access to more rights is more


                      tion with access to a facilitator finds                                                         knowledge about then and laws


                      simpler solutions to its legal problems


                      and that the people resort to the judi-


                      cial authorities for cases that do requi-


                      re it. These studies also show that the


                      people with access to a judicial facili-


                      tator have greater knowledge of the


                      laws and the institutions of the legal


                      system.
