Everyday Legal Problems and the Cost of Justice in Canada
The Canadian Forum on Civil JusticeTuesday, May 31, 2016
The Canadian Forum on Civil Justice (CFCJ) is thrilled to annouce the publication of three papers from our SSHRC-funded “Cost of Justice” research project. These papers are based on findings from the CFCJ’s Everyday Legal Problems and the Cost of Justice in Canada survey, the first national survey in almost ten years to measure the frequency and ways in which members of the Canadian public experience everyday legal problems. It is also the first survey of its kind to explore what these problems cost, not only in dollars, but also to the state and to the physical and mental health of the public who use our justice system.
These papers — Everyday Legal Problems and the Cost of Justice in Canada: Overview Report by Trevor C.W. Farrow, Ab Currie, Nicole Aylwin, Les Jacobs, David Northrup and Lisa Moore, Design and Conduct of the Cost of Justice Survey and the Everyday Legal Problems and Cost of Justice: Survey (Cost of Justice Survey) are available on the CFCJ website here.
