Services RoL

Services are points of interaction where formal and informal legal and justice institutions and actors come into contact with members of society to deliver legal support, protection or to uphold the law. Some examples of services include policing, courts, correctional facilities and legal advisory services. These services may be provided by formal or informal institutions and actors. For example, legal advice centres could be staffed by lawyers or paralegals. The services may also be provided by a mixture of state and non-state actors, which, similar to the discussion above with systems, could create integrated or hybrid services.
