A message from the
Chief Justice of New Brunswick

“Free and democratic societies are founded on the supremacy of law, and an independent judiciary is essential to ensure its unbiased application.

Courts play an essential role within Canada ’s constitutional framework. They constitute the judicial branch of government, a component that the Constitution of our country compels the legislative and executive branches to preserve and protect.

New Brunswick courts are called upon, on a daily basis, to judge and apply the appropriate law to disputes and provide a peaceful and professional mechanism for their resolution."
