As the Open Justice Centre approaches its third anniversary, the 2019 Annual Report provides an opportunity to review the progress of the Centre since its inception in 2016.
The Centre’s development has benefitted greatly from the support of The Open University's Law and Business Schools, the Vice Chancellor’s Executive and from the generosity of external partners who have provided invaluable advice, guidance and encouragement.
This report offers a summary of these pro bono and public engagement activities over the past 12 months and outlines their awards and research outputs. However, the best illustration of the success of the Centre is the commitment and engagement of the students, many of whom have described their experience in participating in the work of the Centre as being truly transformative.
