Ontario Justice Stakeholder Summit
Getting it Right
Between June 24th and June 26th, 2007, the Ontario Bar Association hosted Getting It Right – The Justice Stakeholder Summit to develop recommendations on how to improve accessibility to Ontario’s legal system.
During the unprecedented three-day summit, representatives from a variety of groups, including victims’ rights, poverty activists and the aboriginal community, convened to discuss issues facing Ontario’s justice system such as accessibility, user-friendliness, affordability and functionality. They were joined by lawyers, judges, law professors and government representatives.
Before the Summit, the OBA hosted eight public Town Hall Meetings with local MPPs. These meetings, like the Summit, took a unique approach to public consultation by involving members of the legal community, including lawyers, judges, and stakeholder groups. The discussions and recommendations from the Town Hall Meetings formed a strong foundation for the Summit by identifying and providing a broader understanding of barriers to access to justice in Ontario.

UPDATE:
In April of 2008, The Hon. Chris Bentley, Attorney General of Ontario, joined the Ontario Bar Association to launch the highly anticipated Report of the Justice Stakeholder Summit. The report summarizes the key issues and stakeholder recommendations intended to address barriers currently limiting access to justice.
