The extension survey (TLSLSx) revisited a nationally representative subsample of the TLSLS2 between April and October 2008. The respondent for the justice module was randomly selected to be the household head or his/her spouse, and the TLSLSx revisited 1,716 respondents across Timor-Leste's thirteen districts. Survey topics included: (1) access to information and decision making; (2) opinions and knowledge of the law; (3) trust and local institutions; and (4) dispute resolution. Findings from this survey have been summarized in three short briefing papers focusing on land and conflict, youth perspectives, and community trust and decision making. 2012-08-13T13:34:58Z 2012-08-13T13:34:58Z 2010-06 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2010/06/12606092/lay-land-land-access-dispute-resolution-timor-leste http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10927 English Justice for the Poor Briefing Note; Volume 5, Issue No. 3 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research East Asia and Pacific Timor-Leste
