In the context of the annual professional internship program that the Justice Studies Center of the Americas (JSCA) develops, the Center is now accepting applications for a six-month internship conducting the eleventh version of the project “Index of Online Accessibility of Judicial Information” (IAcc).
The IAcc was created in 2004 by JSCA experts with the goal of creating a comparative database on information that should be accessible to the public on Judicial Branch and Public Prosecutor’s Office websites in OAS member states. This methodological proposal, the publication of a ranking of the results by country and the reach of the previous versions has positioned the publication as a regional reference for the inclusion of content on institutional websites. JSCA’s goal is to reaffirm its mission of generating greater connectivity among the judicial systems of the 34 OAS member states by promoting the use of new information technologies in the public sector.

Yesterday afternoon during the Fourth Plenary Session held in Washington, D.C., the 48th General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS) elected two new members to the Board of Directors of the Justice Studies Center of the Americas (JSCA). They are Jenny Murphy of the United States and Patricia Pérez of Chile. The members-elect will serve from 2019 to 2021.
This election is particularly significant in the context of JSCA’s Gender Equity Policy, the most important institutional change to occur over the past few years. JSCA Executive Director Jaime Arellano stated, “We at JSCA believe that in order to effectively, comprehensively and equitably fulfill our mission and goals, the gender perspective must be incorporated into the Center’s organizational culture and all of its institutional activity. This includes our staffing, processes, activities and the development of our research, projects and training programs.”
