About Us

The Coalition Against Dishonest and Discriminatory Practices In The Canadian Judiciary (CDDPCJ) is a civil rights movement which has as its primary objective to hold Adjudicators in Canada accountable in order to uphold the primacy of the rule of law in Canada, a cornerstone to democracy.

As noted by The Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, P.C. on Judicial Accountability at the Conference on Law and Parliament, Ottawa, Ontario, November 2, 2006, "...

what then are the mechanisms by which we hold judges accountable? First, to whom do the judges account? The answer is that judges account to the public, not directly as do elected politicians who can be voted out of office, but through mechanisms that the law has over the centuries devised and refined. 

Second, how are judges held to account? Answer: In a number of ways including: 

(1) the sanction of removal; (2) the built-in accountability of our open court processes; (3) public and peer review; and (4) the principle of deference developed as a protection against uncontrolled judicial power. 

Buckle up and join us on this long and bumpy ride on the pristine path of truth as we contribute to the truth-seeking function of the courts, which function is reiterated at paragraph 63 of R. v. Cowan, 2021 SCC 45 (CanLII)
