Access to Justice

Abstract

This article has the goal to discuss the access to justice and its current and historical development, based on literature review of some important titles, which aims to bring the consolidation of this institute as a right that integrates both constitutional and fundamental rights, and it also demonstrates that it belongs to the minimum existential and for the exercise of the ‘human’s dignity’, since this right is repeatedly used in demands from which the judiciary is addressed to correct existing social problems, and the gaps left by the legislative and the executive’s inertia. Access to justice shares a modern concept, present in various constitutions of many states, those which aim, among other things, for democracy and the guarantee of effectiveness to human rights, thus making it possible to see a strong and remarkeble historical construction of it, due to achievements made in this field of law, that should be remembered, studied and mirrored to future generations, culminating in the expansion and optimization of this institute.
