N2 - This paper explores the efforts made to provide better access to the Danish civil justice system, including schemes for legal aid and advice, representation of diffuse interests, changes in forms of procedure and the structure of courts and ADR. After providing an overview of the most significant of these efforts and recent Danish reforms, the paper identifies and discusses some of the significant current challenges related to providing access to the Danish civil justice system. The analyses suggest, inter alia, that there is a need for a comprehensive general review of the Danish schemes for legal aid and advice.
