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.
Council recognizes the role that public education plays in conveying information about judicial conduct and the mandate of Council. As a result, added effort has been devoted to better communicate Council's mandate and to explain the difference between judicial conduct and judicial decision making. While this effort to better communicate through correspondence may take some additional time and effort in the front end, there are clear longer-term benefits to helping those who write to understand that not all complaints constitute matters of judicial conduct.
