PLEA gratefully acknowledges our primary core funder the Law Foundation of Saskatchewan for their continuing and generous support of our organization.
Judges must make decisions based on the law and the facts of the case before them. Their decisions must not be influenced by politics, personal or religious beliefs, or outside relationships.
In Canada all judges are appointed, not elected. They must be experienced lawyers before being considered for appointment and will also receive special training after their appointment.
Judges ensure that both sides get a fair opportunity to present their case and act as an independent and impartial decision-maker.
There are special judicial councils set up to investigate and deal with complaints about judges.
The Regina Public Library and Saskatoon Public Library are hosting free Law Fair events during Saskatchewan Access to Justice Week to connect people with free legal information, assistance, and support. Attend to acquire legal knowledge and to broaden awareness of legal rights and responsibilities!
