Justice is a title used for judges in higher courts, particularly the Supreme Court of Canada and provincial superior courts. The term distinguishes these judicial officers from judges in provincial courts. For example, members of the Supreme Court of Canada are called 'Justices' and their leader is the 'Chief Justice.' The word justice also refers broadly to the concept of fairness under law and the system that administers it. Canada's Department of Justice is the federal ministry responsible for legal affairs, while provincial justice ministries oversee court administration and prosecutions. Access to justice, meaning citizens' ability to use legal systems fairly, remains an important policy concern.
