Social Justice Scotland (SJS), defunct as at 5 February 2010, was a Conservative linked think tank. It called itself

a progressive think tank founded to develop and promote fresh thinking and effective new approaches to tackling poverty and inequality in Scotland.[1]

It also stated that it was

an independent, non-partisan organisation inspired by Iain Duncan Smith's work on social justice issues.[2]

SJS began operation in August 2009.[3] As at 5 February 2010, Social Justice Scotland no longer exists as a working entity (the website has been closed down for maintenance, and the domain name is parked). The outfit has been rebranded as the Social Justice Foundation.
