Abstract
Improving access to justice through legal education has been a topic of concern for many years. This paper claims that a more fruitful methodology for addressing this issue would be to focus on identifying a perspective from which we can associate different levels of justice (formal, informal, and everyday) with access to justice and education as rights, not merely services. I argue that we can identify such a perspective by concentrating on the notion of common good. It is demonstrated that both the right to education and the right to access justice are good and common and that the three levels of justice are good and communal but not all of them are common. The paper concludes that it is of critical importance to consider everyday justice, the only justice level that is genuinely common, in all forms of legal education.
