Our court system is designed to deal with a variety of issues. There are several types of courts that handle different matters. Rules and procedures vary from court to court.
Judges have a crucial role to play on our judicial system and must remain impartial. They must make decisions based only on the law and the evidence before the court.
Lawyers must have certain qualifications to provide legal services. Knowing what to expect from them is important if you have a legal issue. You can also make complaints about lawyers to the Law Society.
