A just state for everyone? Researching access to administrative justice in the digital era

✓

Lunastettu

In this podcast I will give insights into my research project on access to justice in the context of increasing digitalization of public services. The project's starting point is the observation that the digital transformation of public services comes along with two interlinked challenges: the risk of social groups being excluded from these services (digital inequality) and, as a result, restricted access to justice - a fundamental right that is also a prerequisite to exercising other rights. Applying a qualitative mixed-methods approach in a multi-sited case study I will investigate citizens' experiences as well as public ombud institutions' practices in promoting equal access to administrative justice for all.
