About the CAJS

The Caribbean Agency for Justice Solutions (CAJS) is a non-profit, regional development agency established by the Caribbean Court of Justice in 2016 to provide dedicated technology-enabled solutions to the Caribbean’s justice sector. The institution was established on two foundational convictions. First, that the sustainability of programs for justice improvement requires the involvement, buy-in, and active participation of all stakeholders. Second, that the Caribbean has the creativity, intellectual capacity and competencies necessary to support and develop its Justice Sector.
From the inception, the Agency has promoted a “whole-sector, whole-region approach” to modernizing the delivery of justice at the national and regional level. In response, the institution has pioneered a range of innovative, technology-enabled solutions for courts, tribunals, law offices, legal aid clinics and the public bar. It has also developed a range of educational workshops, programmes and resources to facilitate knowledge sharing and indigenous human resource development.

As a non-profit, regional development focused institution, revenues derived from its products and services are re-invested into development, research, and capacity building programs for the benefit of the Caribbean.

Today, the CAJS is a dynamic, innovative and pioneering regional institution. Its various solutions have been deployed in over 10 countries, including The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cayman Islands, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Trinidad and Tobago. Its training programmes have touched judicial and legal professionals, including judges, attorneys general, lawyers, registrars, court technologists, as well as administrative and clerical staff.

In framing its unique approach to solutions development and service delivery CAJS identified the following three urgent priorities:

  • The need for an integrated approach to justice solutions development and a more collaborative approach to technology adoption, implementation and change management
  • The need for judiciaries and governments to achieve greater productivity, cost-savings, accountability and service delivery improvement
  • The need to more deliberately develop and more strategically leverage indigenous competencies and expertise to accelerate the evolution of Caribbean justice
