What is the Aboriginal Justice?
The Aboriginal Justice System wants to contribute to a decrease in the rate of victimization, crime and incarceration among Aboriginal people in communities operating AJS programs, to assist Aboriginal people to assume greater responsibility for the administration of justice in their communities, to provide better and more timely information about community justice programs funded by the Aboriginal Justice System (AJS) and to reflect and include Aboriginal values within the justice system.

What is the Canadian Justice ?
The Canadian justice system is unique in the world. Two official languages (English and French) and two legal traditions (common law and civil law) co-exist within our system of justice. As Canadians, we are all responsible for understanding our rights and freedoms and our duties as members of society. Courts resolve disputes, and in doing so, they interpret and establish the law for all Canadians.
