Humanizing justice is about ensuring humane and fair conditions for everything happening in the legal context, beginning with the prosecution process itself. Naturally, it also includes all the persons involved and the environment where it is taking place. Therefore, the concept of humanizing justice drives the idea of creating a conceptual frame, in which a person being involved in the judicial system is the key element and the centre of it. It is very important to consider the multidimensional perspective of humanizing justice, with aspects like communication and teamwork being crucial for its success. Within this article, different approaches of humanizing justice will be discussed, on basis of real-life examples like a project conducted in the field of Health Care within Intensive Care Units, the trend towards therapeutic or restorative justice that seeks to study the role of law as a therapeutic agent, or the efforts of humanizing architecture, in order to create legal infrastructures and spaces that are more comfortable and less intimidating for persons who have to spend time there, many times involuntarily. Also, problems like professional wearout in law practitioners and students are being addressed, painting a picture of the difficulties law professionals face on a personal level.
