the public law project
Activities & Mission
The poor and disadvantaged are those most affected by public bodies: access to health care, asylum, benefits and affordable housing depend on decisions of public bodies. Such decisions should be made in accordance with public law. The Public Law Project challenges public bodies and improves decision-making through advice and litigation, research and policy work and training other advisers.
