Brea Lowenberger, director of CREATE Justice, College of Law, played a key role in supporting the recent “Advancing People-Centred Justice in Canada” conference hosted by the National Action Committee on Access to Justice, where she is a strategic advisor.
She described a shift to a more connected, collaborative movement – one where Saskatchewan is strongly represented.
Supreme Court of Canada Justice Andromache Karakatsanis, Chair of the National Action Committee, spoke at the Ottawa conference and described people-centred justice as a common good, a way of understanding justice as essential public infrastructure.
“Recognizing justice as a common good asks us to see justice differently. Not only as help for individuals in moments of crisis, but as a shared system that benefits everyone.”
