Justice Centres Uganda (JCU) is a Government Project of the Justice, Law and Order Sector hosted and supervised by the Judiciary of Uganda.
JCU was established in 2009 to provide free legal services to the poor, vulnerable and marginalised individuals and communities of Uganda to realise their rights. The JCU Model seeks to empower vulnerable communities through provision of quality human rights based legal aid services, community outreaches and advocacy to claim their rights and demand for policy and social change.
JCU reaches out to hard-to-reach areas where little or no resources for constructive dispute resolution are available.
The provided services are free of charge:
Legal Representation, Alternative Dispute Resolution through Mediation, Support with self-representation, Legal Advice and toll-free lines. We empower communities while creating legal awareness and sensitisation with: Outreaches, Trainings on legal rights, Community Barazas, Radio talk shows and spot messages.
Currently, there are twelve Justice Centres nationwide, with the National Coordination Office which is housed at the High Court in Kampala. The twelve Justice Centres are located in the Districts of Kampala, Fort Portal, Hoima, Jinja, Masaka, Mubende, Mukono, Mbale, Tororo, Lira, Bundibugyo and Kasese.
