The Law Commission of Ontario [1] has an ongoing project entitled “Best Practices at Family Justice System Entry Points: Needs of Users and Responses of Workers within the Justice System.” As Slaw readers may know from news reports today (see, e.g., the Gobe and Mail front page story [2]), the LCO has just released a report on part of that study, “Voices from a Broken Family Justice System: Sharing Consultations Results,” setting out what they’ve learned from wide consultation with organizations, agencies, and people who are or staff the “entry points” into the family justice system in the province.
The LCO has run into technical problems with its website and is unable at the moment to distribute copies of the report there. Slaw is more than glad to help out a former Slawyer — Patricia Hughes, the LCO Executive Director, blogged with us [3] for a year or so and now has her own blog [4].
