Background

MUSAWA- The Palestinian Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and the Legal Profession, considers the Justice sector to be one of the most important and influential sectors in a Palestinian civilian’s life, and affects the capability of Palestinians toward national independency, especially in this vital and important stage, heading in the direction of building a sovereign Palestinian state.

In this context, and since 2007, MUSAWA has published four Legal Monitor Reports on the perceptions of the Palestinian people on the performance of the pillars of justice in Palestine (West Bank and Gaza Strip). In this regard, a large sample of different groups in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip were surveyed. These included judges, members of the public prosecution, Shari’a court employees, standard court employees, lawyers and law interns, as well as teachers and students in law schools from different Palestinian universities. In addition, a general representative sample of the Palestinian public was surveyed, and another sample that represented “the litigants,” which refer to the Palestinians who dealt with different Palestinian courts. All these surveys aimed to form a clear image about the condition of justice in Palestine during the past years in order to measure the progression and regression in performance and capabilities.

MUSAWA is intending to conduct the Fifth Legal Monitor (2016-2018) to measure the development of rule of law in Palestine and to track changes in the public perception of key justice and security institutions. The survey sample, that is currently carried out by the PCBS takes into consideration the following categories; judges, public prosecution employees, lawyers, trainee lawyers, Law teachers/professors, law students in law schools from different Palestinian universities, the general public and public litigants. Furthermore, the survey is supposed to shed light on these categories in different geographical locations (districts, cities, towns, villages, and camps), gender, age and place of residence.

Thus, MUSAWA is soliciting proposals from qualified individuals or institutions to read the raw data provided by the PCBS that is being prepared in the survey carried out in the West Bank and Gaza, and provide a thorough analytical report where it can be possible to read and compare against the previous reports.
