Programmes

We support the rule of law through two separate programmes.

​Judicial Action Group (JAG)

A voluntary peer-to-peer network of Supreme Court judges from across Africa.
Through JAG, a carefully selected cohort of independent judges has emerged, dedicated to developing enlightened justice across the continent.
When these judges deliver rulings, their decisions create binding precedents that provide justice to millions. 

​Community Legal Empowerment (CLE)

We establish local legal hubs staffed by skilled African development lawyers who respond to communities’ legal issues. 
These lawyers work within local contexts, languages, and customary law. They also benefit from being members of the broader Protimos network, using legal precedents we have helped establish. Often they work within the communities they serve, creating trusted relationships on a sustainable basis.
