[1] This survey and report were prepared for, and largely paid for,
by the Department of Justice, Canada. Additional support was provided by a grant to A. N. Doob from the Social Sciences and
Humanities Research Council of Canada. I wish to thank Jane Sprott for her advice on the survey instrument, Cheryl Webster for
her help with the coding of the completed questionnaires and the editing the report, Tina Hattem for her guidance on various
aspects of the project, and the 238 judges across Canada who invested their time in responding to the questionnaire. Further,
I would like to single out the judges in various locations of Canada who were willing to subject themselves to earlier versions of
the questionnaire and provide me with advice on how to improve it. Their suggestions were very important. The limitations of the
final survey are, of course, mine.
