The Manitoba Law Foundation is working to develop an evidence base for access to justice issues related to civil and family law experienced by Manitobans, and performance metrics to measure the performance of the justice system and related programs and initiatives.
To inform this work, the Foundation engaged Prairie Research Associates Inc. to conduct a literature review to:
- Provide background on family and civil law legal needs and access to justice issues; and
- Provide an inventory of Canadian legal needs surveys and access to justice metrics initiatives to inform the development of a survey of Manitobans on civil and family law issues, as well as future work on the development of Manitoba-specific access to justice metrics.
