Judges’ work
When appointed, each judge is assigned an office in one judicial region, though many judges travel regularly to other areas to meet the demand for judges in the more than 80 locations where Provincial Court is held.
Most Provincial Court judges work full-time. However, judges aged 55 or older with at least 10 years of service may choose to hold office part-time as a “senior judge”.
Judges conduct trials, hearings and conferences in criminal (adult and youth), family, and civil matters. They also perform judicial mediation in family and civil settlement conferences. Judges also do considerable work outside the courtroom, including reading, writing, public speaking, and committee work.
Judges consider written applications for search warrants in their offices. When they reserve judgment at the end of a trial, judges research and prepare written reasons for their decisions. To stay current with the law, they regularly read new legislation, reasons for judgment issued by other judges, and articles commenting on trends in the law.
As volunteers, they also speak frequently to classes, and to legal and community groups. They conduct swearing in ceremonies for police officers, municipal councils and school boards. Many judges also volunteer their time to serve on committees to help the Court or to liaise with court users and justice organizations. Judges also organize and present education programs for their colleagues.
