Established in 1989 as the Law Courts Education Society, the Justice Education Society is dedicated to improving access to the justice system through hands-on, targeted, two-way education between the public and those working in the system. This commitment is embodied in our tagline, “Justice through Knowledge.”
As a non-profit organization with ongoing public and private sector financial and volunteer support, we offer a unique and comprehensive collection of justice-related educational services and effectively work towards creating a justice system that is accessible to all.
Our programs and resources serve the general public, youth, persons with disabilities, Aboriginals and immigrants in British Columbia, throughout Canada and around the world. These services are designed to help communities better understand how our justice system works and their role in the system.
At the same time, we seek to increase awareness among justice system personnel of the barriers that certain groups face in accessing justice. Our goal is to use this increased awareness to improve access for those groups.
