Research in Brief: The Practice of Family Law in Canada: Results from surveys for the 2018 National Family Law Program
This report highlights some key findings of the 2018 National Family Law surveys of family law professionals in Canada. The data provide insights into the experiences, practices, and issues among legal professionals working in the Canadian family justice system.
Since 1998, the Department of Justice Canada (Justice Canada) has conducted biennial surveys of lawyers and judges working in family law in Canada. These surveys aim to collect information on the characteristics of their family law cases, and to obtain feedback on family law issues based on their knowledge and expertise. This information can assist in the development of policy and programs related to family law in Canada.
The 2018 surveys were conducted with participants of the National Family Law Program (NFLP) conference and distributed through the Federation of Law Societies of Canada (FLSC) to Law Societies across Canada. The NFLP conference is a high profile biennial conference organized by the FLSC and attended by hundreds of lawyers and judges from across the country.
