HiiL (The Hague Institute for Innovation of Law) is a civil society organisation committed to people-centred justice. That means justice that is affordable, accessible and easy to understand. To make that transformation we must put people and the outcomes they need at the centre, not institutions and existing procedures. They aim that by 2030, 150 million people will be able to prevent or resolve their most pressing justice problems. They do this by stimulating innovation and scaling what works best. They are friendly rebels focused on concrete improvements in the lives of people. Data and evidence are central in all that we do. HiiL is an equal opportunity, international employer. They are based in the Netherlands, in the City of Peace and Justice, The Hague.

History

HiiL (pronounced “hill”) was founded in 2005 by small but impassioned group of individuals who felt that justice systems were falling short and losing pace in a rapidly changing world. Even as new buzzwords floated around – globalisation, increased interconnectedness, and the information technology revolution – a larger question remained: How does this accelerated change impact justice delivery? HiiL strives to address this challenge to meet people’s needs.
