Foundation Of Administrative Justice

About Us

Welcome

Another type of school to help with the ABCs…and other tribunals

The Foundation for Administrative Justice provides training courses for Western Canada’s tribunals, and the people who appear before them. These administrative tribunals have a tremendous influence on the day-to-day lives of Canadians, arguably even more so than the criminal or civil courts do. As part of the broad quasi-judicial system, these tribunals decide rights and entitlements related to licensing, status of people and things, and money and benefits owed. They are often known as the ABCs, or agencies, boards, and commissions of the federal and provincial governments. But tribunals also include public-sector appeal bodies and committees for municipalities, colleges, and universities. They reach into the private sector through appeal and discipline committees for professional organizations, sports groups, unions, and other associations. Perhaps your business has had to take out a liquor licence; maybe you want to appeal a municipal development decision; you may have been involved in a labour dispute, or have had an issue with your doctor or teacher. Tribunals are involved, and often central, in all these cases. Our foundation can help you understand all aspects of these various tribunals.

Our course costs are very favourable compared to course offerings from other instructors, because the Foundation operates on a non-profit basis. We provide the only comprehensive training for members, prospective members and staff of quasi-judicial boards and commissions in western and northern Canada. The Foundation has instructors based in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories, with experience in their respective administrative justice systems. Our courses are offered on a regular basis throughout the year, to provide maximum flexibility for tribunals that have newly appointed members. These courses touch on interpreting laws, presenting and weighing evidence, holding effective hearings, and making and writing decisions.

We encourage you to consider our training, particularly if you are involved in administrative-tribunal work, or if you want to prepare for potential appointment to an ABC. Including information that you’ve taken one of our courses looks good on a resume if you’re looking to be appointed to tribunals. While tribunal-associated people make up the bulk of our course participants, the foundation also can provide effective training to those appearing before tribunals. We also welcome your participation in our professional society and encourage you to become a member. The foundation holds an annual conference as a forum for practices and trends for administrative tribunals.
