ABOUT
THE COURT
The Court consists of 23
judges, including the Chief Judge and the
Coordinating Judge, and over 70 administrative and support staff. There
are 11 permanent court centres and 30 sites which the court visits on
circuit. 
The Court sits every day of the week. With the assistance of modern technology, remote
appearances of accused and witnesses via video or teleconferencing is
becoming more of a regular occurrence. There is always a duty judge on
call 24 hours, 7 days a week, with backup judges available, if needed.
While the Court has a lengthy and
interesting history, the Court is always looking to the future for ways
of improving the level and quality of the service it provides to the
public. The Court issues an annual report describing the level of
activity in the court at the conclusion of each fiscal year. Periodic
reassessment of court operations is part of its ongoing operational
planning.
The Court participates in various
outreach programs including the “Lunch with the Judge” program.
