Justice of the Peace Program

Justices of the Peace are community-based judicial officers who have jurisdiction with the Nunavut Court of Justice over summary (less serious) Criminal Code offences and territorial offences under Nunavut statutes. Justices of the Peace conduct bail hearings for more serious cases and have limited civil jurisdiction under some Nunavut statutes. Justices of the Peace may also conduct marriage ceremonies, swear-in of public officials, and sign documents.

 

Justices of the Peace are appointed by the Government of Nunavut.

 

For more information on the Justice of the Peace program, its hearing schedule, and for information on how to apply to be a community Justice of the Peace, visit the court’s website.
