Alberta's Ministry of Justice oversees the provincial court system, prosecutes criminal cases, and provides legal services to the provincial government. The ministry operates courthouses across Alberta, appoints provincial court judges, and administers programs like legal aid that help low-income Albertans access legal representation. It also handles victim services, maintenance enforcement (collecting child and spousal support payments), and the provincial corrections system for sentences under two years. The ministry works to ensure Albertans have access to a fair, efficient justice system while keeping communities safe.
