ADAJ

ADAJ, the Access to Law and Justice research consortium is concerned with the issue of the difficult relationships between the citizen and the legal sector in complex societies. It includes 20 different collaborative research hubs that focus on the empirical study of the concrete realities affecting access to law and justice (five major common projects) or on the development of innovative practices that could eventually be experimented in other Canadian provinces and, at the international level, be transposed into other legal systems.

Pierre Noreau is a political scientist and jurist whose primary field of interest is the sociology of law. He is a professor in the Faculty of Law of the Université de Montréal and a researcher at the Centre de recherche en droit public. He heads the Access to Law and Justice consortium (ADAJ).

Maya Cachecho has a Ph.D in law. She is the scientific coordinator of the Access to Law and Justice Project (ADAJ) and a researcher at the Centre de recherche en droit public.
