In his latest blog, CFCJ Senior Research Fellow and Research Consultant for the Legal Health Check-Up Project, Dr. Ab Currie, explains that the expansion of the Legal Health Check-Up model to twelve clinics will create an exciting learning environment as each clinic innovatively adapts the LHC model to best benefit its users.

INNOVATION IN JUSTICE
In a recent piece by Dr. Sam Muller of HiiL Innovating Justice, he discusses some of the points he raised during his recent conversation with Prime Minister Trudeau in Davos including, the meaning of a “functional justice system”, the contributions that Canada can make to building innovation capacity into justice systems and key elements to this new approach to rule of law development.
Dr. Muller's column also references the Canadian Forum on Civil Justice as "one of the impressive organizations...that [he's] had the pleasure of working with in justice innovation".
"A Talk With the Prime Minister" by Sam Muller is posted on slaw.ca and can be viewed in full here. |
