The civil justice system and the public

The Civil Justice System and the Public Project The purpose of the Civil Justice System and the Public research is to hear about the experiences of people who have been involved in the civil justice system and to involve as many people as possible in making clear recommendations for change. [...] The purposes of the workshops were to: • Learn more about civil (non-criminal) justice issues, and the needs and experiences of Inuit and non-Inuit residents of Nunavut as well as Nunavut Inuit living outside of the territory. [...] We reflect on the need to re-define how we conceptualize the delivery of justice in the challenging context of Nunavut before presenting the discussion of issues in family, civil and administrative justice that emerges from the CJSP research in Nunavut and Ottawa. [...] More accurately, the CJSP is social research about the communication experiences of people involved in the civil justice process, both as members of the public and members of the justice community. [...] Whereas in Inuit justice – you've got the person that has done the wrong, the person that's been hurt, the people supporting them, and you've got the Elders, and they lead to try to resolve – okay what are the issues, what can [be done] – and the healing happens there too.
