Welcome from the President

Welcome to the website of the Canadian Superior Courts Judges Association (CSCJA). Founded in 1979, the CSCJA represents nearly all federally appointed judges in Canada.

The CSCJA works for both its members and the public with initiatives that protect and enhance judicial independence and the administration of justice, while supporting individual judges in their roles on issues of compensation, health and wellness, and education.

Our work is accomplished through the countless volunteer hours of our Executive, Board of Directors, Council, and the many committees that execute the objects of our association. We are grateful for their work because we could not function without it.

I encourage all members of the CSCJA to get involved in a governance role, on a committee, or on a special project. I would be pleased to discuss opportunities with anyone interested. You may contact me on any matter at president@cscja.ca. You can also obtain more information by getting in touch with the Council member or Director from your province, territory or court.

The CSCJA continues to address as well, the impact on the health and wellness of judges from the pressure of an increasing workload and insufficient resources.

Finally, the CSCJA will continue to expand on our efforts to improve access to justice, to protect and enhance security for our judges, to educate the public on the role of the judge and the independence of the judiciary, and to contribute internationally to pursuing the realization of these same principles.

Sincerely,

Hon. Justice Lukasz Granosik

2026-2027 President
