| Abstract | This article considers constitutional arguments supporting the right of prisoners to have access to courts to have legal grievances aired and tested. It presents arguments based on the rule of law, a right to equality or equal justice (either as part of the rule of law or as an independent right), as inherent in the position of courts in our Constitution, as part of an implied freedom of political communication, and as part of the institutional integrity of a court that individuals have a right to approach it with legal grievances. |
