Message from the Chief Justice,Richard Wagner

Welcome to the Supreme Court of Canada, our country’s highest court.

We are the only bilingual and bijural supreme court in the world. We work and decide cases in both English and French and from both common law and civil law.

Our job is to make independent and impartial decisions on legal issues of public importance. The Court hears cases in all areas of the law, including constitutional law, administrative law, criminal law and private law.

The decisions we make here affect the lives of all Canadians, and that of your family and community. We are proud to share that work with you.

The Right HonourableRichard Wagner, P.C.
