Canadian Judicial Council
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canadian Judicial Council is the regulating body for Canadian judges composed mostly of chief justices and associate chief justices of Canada's superior courts. The council deals with complaints against judges and establishes rules of conduct and practice.
Established in 1971 by an act of Parliament, its mandate is to "promote efficiency and uniformity, and to improve the quality of judicial serices in superior courts and in the Tax Courts of Canada."
The current chair of the council is Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin.
