MicroJustice in no way guarantees that Services will be available without interruption.

Scope of Services

Microjustice is committed to addressing the basic legal needs of individuals by providing accessible and affordable standardized legal services. Many individuals are unable to access the legal system due to various barriers, resulting in their marginalization from their country’s legal framework. Microjustice aims to rectify this by establishing a sustainable system of legal assistance, ensuring that all individuals can enjoy the same rights as the wider population. Our focus lies on non-litigious private and administrative legal matters, offering practical solutions to protect individuals, businesses, and belongings.

Our services are particularly vital in the aftermath of humanitarian crises, where individuals require immediate access to aid schemes and protection for their person and possessions, which may have been compromised or lost.

Microjustice’s efforts are bolstered by the implementation of the Legal Rights Protection Program, supported by two complementary tools: the Legal Rights Protection Barometer and the Digital Legal Aid Platform. Through these initiatives, Microjustice strives to ensure equitable access to legal services and uphold the rights of all individuals within society.

MicroJustice only provides technical know-how, expertise and tools to the Lawyer or other Principal that is providing the Services, registered under specific laws regulating advocates profession (Bar Associations or similar organizations). By creating profile on MicroJustice, Clients are getting into a contract directly with the Lawyer and they will be subject to the Lawyer’s terms and conditions. The delivery terms and conditions of a Lawyer can be obtained from the relevant Lawyer, if requested, after creating the profile. By creating a profile Clients are accepting the terms and conditions of the Lawyer as well as the MicroJustice Terms and Conditions.

MicroJustice shall not be liable for anything stated in the Lawyer’s terms and conditions. MicroJustice ‘s Agreement with Users sets out what User rights and obligations are when they create a case through MicroJustice.

From the point at which a Client creates a case, MicroJustice acts solely as a bridge between the Client and the Lawyer, transmitting the details of the case to the relevant Lawyer and sending the Client emails for and on behalf of the Lawyer.

MicroJustice will do our best to assist you but will have no liability and expressly disclaim any liability in relation to the performance of the contract with the Lawyer, and this should be taken up with the Lawyer directly.

This Platform is offered and available to Users who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. By using this Platform or any of the MicroJustice Products or Services, you represent and warrant that you are eighteen (18) years of age or older and have legal capacity to form a binding contract.

MicroJustice is not in any way liable for damages that may arise from you providing false information about your age.
