Summary
The Law Commission of Canada sees restorative justice in the criminal law and alternative dispute resolution in the civil law as closely connected: They both attempt to trace a new understanding of how we might imagine the processes by which conflicts are named and framed, the assumptions about who is properly a party to a dispute, and what the optimal remedial outcomes might be. This Discussion Paper begins with the idea of restorative justice, as it has been developed in the criminal justice system, and seeks to extend it, through the notion of transformative justice, to other fields of law.
