Description

How Does Canada's Court System Work details the different levels of courts that exist within Canada's justice system, the means of organization of the courts and the roles each levels of the judiciary play. It speaks to the alternative methods for dispute resolution that exist including Sentencing Circles for Indigenous communities and Alternative Dispute Resolution. The most current update to the publication addresses the Judiciary and the work being done to improve the Bilingual Biystemism (the coexistence of civil and common law systems in English and French) specifically in the Superior Courts. There has been a list of commonly used terms added and defined in plain language to improve accessibility.
