This report was created to make specific recommendations towards the creation of a family law section of the Trial Division of the Supreme Court of Alberta. This report does not contain draft legislation for a unified family court and deals only with the structure of the court itself. Court services are addressed in Report No. 26, Family Law Administration: Court Services. The report canvasses developments in other provinces, and discusses why there is a need for a unified family court in Alberta and discusses problems arising from the existing divisions of jurisdiction. The report discusses the desirable characteristics of constructing a unified family court, including the standing of the court and its judges, the effect on existing institutions, and accessibility. The report also outlines the organization of the unified family court, including appointment of judges, the Chief Justice, the nature of court, procedure, court services, and the establishment of the unified family court.
