Live the e-Court spirit : Nobody stands alone!
For many guests, it will be the first e-Court event; quite a few people will arrive on their own and/or from out-of-town. Please help make them feel welcome. If you see someone alone in a corner, it would be great if you introduce them to your friends. In this way, we can share the spirit in connecting like minded people, and everyone will have a lovely time. Thanks!
Please note: We are currently looking for a Co-Coordinator for the Edmonton Community! If you are interested, please feel free to approach Huibert during the event or apply directly at info@e-court.ca

What is e-Court all about?
e-Court.ca Legal Services International Inc.( hereafter referred
as e-Court ) is an independent group of experienced professionals like
(former) lawyers, barristers, solicitors or attorneys, judges, university
professors, industry and other legal interest groups. e-Court aims to
provide competent, affordable, secure, transparent and speedy justice for
everyone. e-Court also provides an uniform litigation system throughout
Canada without the need to understand the peculiarities existing in each
provincial legislative system.
Labor disputes and other civil disputes between businesses and/or individuals can be submitted to a real Internet court. The new private court, which is called e-Court, guarantees ruling within six weeks after notification of the case. The verdict of e-Court is based on contract principles ( e.g binding arbitration ). View also a legally binding verdict. e-Court cases take no more than six weeks (excluding any appeal of four weeks). This makes the process to cost much less than ordinary courts, which to obtain a ruling in Canada take on average between 70-90 weeks. Moreover, private individuals and businesses agree upfront with their attorneys the maximum period in advance and total costs. This will ensure that e-Court does not result in financial surprises. It is important to note that e-Court is extremely flexible because the individual or company can start a case using e-Court with/without the assistance of a legal professional. In many situations the claimant and/or defendant feel they wish to avoid legal expenses and obtain justice without expenses from legal counsel. See also How we work
Forceful governor general tells lawyers, ‘Heal thyself’
Canada’s lawyers and judges are losing sight of their
commitments to justice and the public good, and the profession must reform
itself and rebuild the trust of ordinary citizens, says Gov. Gen. David
Johnston.
In a rare, forceful speech at the opening of the Canadian Bar
Association’s annual meeting in Edmonton on Sunday, Johnston issued a
stinging assessment of the legal profession and pleaded with it to
change.
“We need a new model for professionalism in law,” he
said. “To borrow a saying from a sister profession: physician, heal
thyself.”
A former dean of law at the University of Western Ontario,
Johnston said lawyers such as himself enjoy a “social contract”
with society: In return for self-regulation and a monopoly over the
practice of law, he said, “We are duty bound” to improve
justice and serve the public good. Instead, he said the profession is
failing to uphold its end of the deal.
