The project has built the council capacity to own the mandate given to it in its ACT to be the clearing house for access to justice to the poor in Nigeria which it does by engaging private practitioners who willingly apply to do probono service and register cases they take up.A baseline study for both Abuja and Enugu conducted in June 2011 indicated pretrial detainees in both male and female spent an average period of 592and 407 days in Enugu and Abuja respectively, the duration has reduced to 339 and 254days for Enugu and Abuja respectively.
