As of April 1, 2023, Alberta’s Provincial Court is now known as the Alberta Court of Justice.
The Alberta Court of Justice is the first point of contact for individuals interacting with the justice system in Alberta. The name change more accurately reflects the Court’s independence and responsibilities.
The title of the Judges of the Court has also been changed from Judge to Justice. The Court’s name and judicial title change has also resulted in a number of amendments to court forms and other materials. All materials to be filed in the Court should now reflect these legislative changes.
There will be a grace period during which time documents that use the outdated name and terminology will be considered to be valid, and previous versions of court forms will be accepted.
