Judgment Writing

The Canadian Institute for the Administration of Justice joins with the National Judicial Institute, the Canadian Judicial Council and the Office of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs to promote a strong and independent judiciary with educational activities tailored specifically for judges.

Designed to assist judges in improving their judgment writing skills, this program includes lectures, discussions, and workshops on the nature of good prose, gender-neutral language and the special requirements and problems of judicial writing. Since writing is a skill that can be improved only through practice, much of the instruction is centered on written exercises and judgments.

The program includes regular and advanced sessions for both English and French-speaking judges.
