Modernisation of the Justice Sector in Portugal
This report assesses the modernisation of the justice sector in Portugal. It examines the country's progress towards a people-centred justice system and a modernised justice sector and offers a range of recommendations to sustain and amplify this progress. It highlights the importance of adopting continuous assessments of legal needs, designing and delivering services with a people-centred purpose; upskilling the justice sector to meet the demands of a digitally enabled and people-centred justice system; enhancing the availability, quality, and use of data and statistical systems; and using digital technologies and data to improve the accessibility, efficiency, and responsiveness of the justice system in Portugal.

The 2022 Portugal legal needs survey
The diagnosis phase of this project benefitted from an adapted version of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) model survey for SDG 16.3.3 purposes (UNDP, 2022[1]). The adapted legal needs survey followed a concise format to accommodate the scope and scale limitations of this project. The 2022 Portugal LNS was therefore an enhanced version of the UNDP model, and extended to cover a limited number of additional issues. The survey was adapted to the particular circumstances of Portugal and followed the underlying principles developed for a comprehensive legal needs survey model published in the 2019 OSJI-OECD report (OECD/Open Society Foundations, 2019[2]).
