FOR LAWYERS AND JUDGES
The work of Council is guided by established procedures and policies, by-laws and other legal resources, accessed here.
- All complaints made against federal judges are reviewed in accordance with the Council Complaint Procedures.
- On conduct matters that may warrant further inquiry, a complaint may be referred to a Panel or a Public Inquiry Committee. The Canadian Judicial Council Inquiries and Investigation By-laws provide formal direction to these activities.
- Additional policies to add clarity to certain aspects of Inquiry Committees have also recently been adopted.
- Council is also active in drafting instructions for use by judges in communicating with juries on important matters. Model Jury Instructions can be accessed here.
