Improving Response Experience and Access to Courthouses (IREACh)

The Improving Response Experience and Access to Courthouses (IREACh) Project creates a curriculum to improve access to courts and outcomes of litigants by employing procedural fairness in civil, criminal, and family court processes that address domestic violence.

The goals of the IREACh Project are to:

Enhance court responses to survivors of domestic violence by creating a blueprint that addresses procedural justice through an access to justice lens.

Improve relationship building among courts, the civil and criminal legal systems, community service providers, and community based organizations.

Improve the knowledge and understanding of access to courts and procedural justice for Justice for Families (JFF), Improving Criminal Justice Response (ICJR), and Services.Training.Officers.Prosecutors. (S.T.O.P.) Formula grantees.
