Nova Scotia State of the Courts Address - May 26, 2023

The State of the Courts is an opportunity to teach the public about the role of the Judiciary as the Third Branch of Government and the accompanying requirement for judicial independence. It is also an opportunity to highlight our access to justice, community engagement and other special initiatives of the Courts, and to renew our commitment to building a more efficient, effective and accessible justice system.
