The Canadian Judicial Council works to enhance the quality of judicial service and provide Canadians with a judiciary they can trust. Here is an overview of the Council's specific achievements in 2011-2012.
Review of the Judicial Conduct Process
From time to time, Council comes to the view that the process by which complaints about federally-appointed judges are reviewed could benefit from a fulsome analysis.
Recent trends suggest that such a review may be opportune as public confidence in Council's ability to address judicial conduct matters in a timely and thorough manner remains at the core of its mandate.
In the coming months, Council will consider how best to engage stakeholders and other Canadians to explore all and any appropriate avenues of reform to the judicial conduct process.
