Superior Court of Québec: Special Meeting on the Future of the Court 2022

Overview

This special one-day meeting was a continuation of the 2021 annual general meeting of the Superior Court of Québec and focused on the digital transformation of the justice system.

Objectives

The primary goal of the special meeting was to take stock of the digital transformation of the justice system precipitated by the pandemic, and more specifically the role that the Court is playing, and will continue to play, in this vast modernization effort.

Summary

After a brief review of the relevant background, the meeting began with a presentation of the methodology and results of a survey conducted in the summer of 2021 by the Provincial task force on the future of virtual justice. The sessions that followed allowed the members of the Court to assess the progress of the Lexius and Tremplin projects. Throughout the day, question periods and breakout discussions on topics such as virtual justice and the digitization of judges’ work allowed participants to share their points of view and identify ideas for a successful digital transformation.
